Bizarre News - October 3, 2015

Greetings fellow Bizarros:

I am frequently tired and grumpy, but rarely does that result in me taking my clothes off. Of course, I'm not an attractive 34-year-old woman. Maybe they deal with stress differently than I do.

The young woman in question is being questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation after allegedly smoking and drinking during a flight from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Honolulu, Hawaii.

Kristin Sharp, who works as a real estate agent, admitted that she smoked an e-cigarette and fought with flight attendants.

The incident unfolded on Allegiant Air flight after she allegedly threw a can of soda. Sharp said that she threw the can of soda, but it missed the garbage bin.

One passenger told police that Sharp was drunk and belligerent. She swore and exposed her breasts before throwing the soda can at employees.

Sharp's boyfriend, Bryant Clark, was on the flight as well. He called her a good person. He defended her actions, saying that she was tired and a bit grumpy.

So far, Sharp has not been charged with a crime, but the FBI is still investigation the incident as most airlines do not allow using an e-cigarette during a flight.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

* Denver airport evacuated over 'TNT' wedding favors *
DENVER - The TSA said a 20-minute evacuation at a Denver airport was caused by wedding favors labeled "TNT" and designed to look like explosives. The Transportation Security Administration said in an Instagram post an agent monitoring the X-ray machines for checked luggage at Denver International Airport Sept. 22 noticed a bag contained small glass bottles bearing wax tops and fuses. The bag was opened and the bottles were found to be labeled "TNT." The airport was evacuated for 20 minutes while bomb specialists examined the items, which turned out to be novelty wedding favors containing bath salts. The TSA said agents discovered the bride and groom's names both started with "T," leading to the "TNT" label. "Be mindful of what you're traveling with and what it might appear as on an X-ray monitor," the TSA said in its Instagram post.


* 'Maxi Pad Bandit' suspect arrested in California *
APPLE VALLEY, Calif. - Police in California said they gave arrested the "Maxi Pad Bandit" accused of burglarizing an auto parts store with a feminine hygiene pad on his face. Apple Valley Police said the man's face was partially obscured by the pad when he broke into the Battery Mart after it closed Monday, but surveillance footage was clear enough for officers to identify him as Gary Victor, 51. Victor, whom police said they have dealt with in the past, was arrested Tuesday. Police said they believe he may have been under the influence of intoxicating substances at the time of the break-in. Mark Wedell, owner of the Battery Mart store, said the surveillance footage included a clear shot of the suspect's face without the sanitary napkin. "Right away everybody started saying we should call this guy the Maxi Pad bandit," Wedell told KNBC-TV. "We had a pretty good picture of his face cause he came to the store the first time and looked in the window without his Maxi Pad on," Wedell said. "But when he came back and he had the maxi pad over his eyes I guess he thought it was going to take care of everything." Police confirmed the object on Victor's face was a feminine pad. "It wasn't surprising, but yes, that is in fact that's what he was trying to conceal his identity with, and he didn't do a very good job," police spokeswoman Trish Hill said.

OK, Lewis. I have eaten at Taco Bell and not gotten the runs. I don't eat there often. I go there when I have a coupon. I have eaten 4 tacos and 2 burritos in one sitting and had no ill effects other then feeling full. -Scott
[I received about 15 responses like this. Not exactly what I would call overwhelming. But like I mentioned in the last issue, the company is still in business, so there has to be a lot more of you out there.]

I never got the runs from Taco Bell, but I did throw up in their parking lot right after eating there.
[Oh, that's better.]

I probably eat at Taco Hell once a month with no issues. And SOMEONE working for them is a frickin' GENIUS! They created a fifty item menu using the same four ingredients in EVERY item.
[Yep. Beef tallow, sawdust, cardboard and the tears of children.]

I eat at Taco Bell occasionally and it's never given me any "intestinal distress." However, I'm vegetarian and don't eat the meat. I've heard the meat is bad, but if you stay away from it you probably will be okay. -Cindy
[So that leaves you with what? The Cinnamon Twists?]

The reason he used the lighter was because of a spider. so this is a story on how not to kill a spider.
[If you're not smarter than a spider...maybe you shouldn't be driving in the first place. There's the public education system at work.]

"...applying the lighter to the side of his vehicle, right next to the open gas tank." I wonder how much a new gas pump is going to cost that guy. Hmmm, should he be entered into the Darwin Awards hall of shame?
