Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Anybody want to get married? Two Montanans repeatedly take
marriage vows without the benefit of divorce, but they aren't
polygamists; they are proxies for absent brides and grooms.

Montana is the only state that allows a double-proxy wedding,
meaning both sides can be no-shows. Kalispell, Mont., began
taking advantage of this quirk about five years ago, when a
native son serving in Iraq wanted to marry his pregnant girl-
friend.

Some research by lawyer Dean Knapton and -- viola! -- Friday
afternoon nuptials were born.

The law had been on Montana's books for several decades, per-
haps to accommodate soldiers during World War II.

The cost to the real, albeit absent, bride and groom: $900,
of which $50 apiece goes to the proxies, $100 to the judge,
$150 to the lawyer-witness; $53 for court fees; $14 for two
certified copies of the marriage certificate. The rest goes
to a Pennsylvania couple who run a business facilitating
proxy marriages.

Bizarrely,

Lewis

Funny Babies and Their Funny Fathers

Here are several feeble attempts made by fathers to change
a baby's diaper, including both rubber gloves and masks.
Their dramatic gag reflexes show the babies might just be
better off changing themselves.

---------- Pub waxing event nearly takes testicle ----------

BIRSTALL, England - Doctors said a man who let friends
give him a "male Brazilian" waxing in a pub nearly lost
a testicle when six of his seven layers of skin were
removed. Joe Cooper, 24, said he and 10 of his friends
were waxing themselves at The Trees pub in Birstall,
England, as a fundraiser for a local hospital and he was
the only one brave enough to go beyond the chest and wax
his groin, The Sun reported. "One of the peelers just got
too enthusiastic and he was pretty apologetic afterwards,"
Cooper said. "I ended up at the hospital. You can imagine
how much everyone was laughing at me. It was ironic. I
was meant to be helping them -- and they ended up helping
me. They told me if any more skin had come off, that would
have been it. I was very lucky really." Despite the injury,
Cooper said he and his friends earned $4,443 for the
Leicester Royal Infirmary children's ward.

--------- Stripping sailor turned over to captain ---------

VICTORIA, British Columbia - Canadian police said a rowdy
French sailor who drunkenly shed his clothes in public
twice was turned over to his commanding officer. Victoria
police said there were few problems among the 5,000 sailors
visiting the city for the Canadian Navy's centennial, but
one French sailor had a bit too much to drink and took off
his uniform in the lobby of a hotel, CanWest News Service
reported. Deputy Police Chief John Ducker said officers
escorted the sailor back to his ship where he again
slipped out of his clothing while waiting to board. Ducker
said the ship's captain was standing behind him during the
second incident. "The punishment a sailor would get from
his commanding officer is much worse than anything we can
do," police spokesman Sgt. Grant Hamilton said.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READER COMMENTS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Lewis and all of Florida bashers - The problem with Florida
is too many #$*!&* outsiders, not Floridian's. How many true
Floridian's do you know? Most of the people that cause pro-
blems here are nutcases from everywhere else. Yankee go home!
-Captain Friday
[Then why is it all of the subjects in these stories seem to
own trailers? Hey, I enjoy Florida. I visit there frequently.
I'm just saying...]


Naked male assistant editor and sushi lunch? I have just 4
words of caution: THAT'S NOT AN EGGROLL! -James, San Diego
[He's usually face down. That's he better side.]


You say the bra was a DD? Easy to see how she lost her
balance and fell, huh? -Jim Smith


You eat sushi off your naked assisstant editor? If Carmen
Sutra were still there, would she do the same for you?
-Eric


We enjoy Bizarre news here in Florida, but did not appreciate
the recent comment. If New Yorkers don't like Floridians why
do they come to Florida? In the winter I think there are more
New Yorkers in Florida than in New York. Census figures in-
dicate New Yorkers like Florida better than New York! -HANK


Lewis...About that Colorado woman in Germany who used her DD
bra to save her life, the rescuers would have gotten to her
sooner, but they were afraid her signal was a bobby trap! -BB
[Who's Bobby?]
