Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Be careful what bars you go into in Oklahoma City. You
just might get your nose cut off! Police say the manager
of a small bar attacked several customers with a sword.
The suspect, Adan Zapata, is charged with assault with
a deadly weapon.
Police say Zapata thought the victim and his friends were
making too much noise. Zapata supposedly got mad, grabbed
the 34-inch sword, chased the men outside and slashed one
man in the face.
One witness thinks the victim is lucky to be alive.
"He was scared. He cried, 'Oh my nose, he cut my nose,'"
said the witness.
"This individual was seriously injured. He was slashed
on the shoulder, hand and on his face," said a police
spokesman.
In addition to the assault charge, Zapata faces a lesser
citation for destroying private property...if you consider
a man's face private property.
His friend says doctors have used pieces of skin from his
ear and forehead to try and fashion a new nose. Remember
the good, old days when all a bar tender kept behind the
bar was a Louisville Slugger?
Bizarrely,
Lewis

+-------- Bizarre Video - Baby With A King Cobra ---------+
This has to be one of the strangest video clips we have
ever experienced when a 7 month-old baby in India is
placed in front of a King Cobra. What happens is the
snake repeatedly attacks the child with the parents in
the background giggling.

---------- Va. panel keeps license plates clean ----------
RICHMOND, Va. - Members of the Virginia Department of
Motor Vehicles' "Word Committee" said they meet once
a month to try to keep dirty words off vanity license
plates. Committee members, all employees of the depart-
ment, said they meet on the second Tuesday of every
month and scrutinize applications for personalized
license plates to make sure they do not contain concealed
profanity or references to drugs, alcohol, gangs or crime,
The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot reported Monday. Melanie
Stokes, who sits on the committee and serves as the
department's head of public relations, said a computer
program weeds out the obvious banned combinations of
letters and numbers before the committee, made up of
people from all demographics, looks over those still in
question. "Our job is to look at the combination as if
it's driving down the road," Stokes said. "We discuss
what it could be, and one person's interpretation can be
very different from another's." Stokes said some of the
less-profane submissions rejected by the committee include
BITETHS, IHAV2P, LVVODKA, PMPNVAN, IGETHI, NOGOD and
AHCRAAP.

--------- Teen makes prom dress from gum wrappers ---------
GARNER, Iowa - An Iowa teenager preparing for her junior
prom said she will be attending the event in a dress she
created from hundreds of gum wrappers. Elizabeth Rasmuson
said the colored wrappers of Wrigley's 5 gum inspired her
to create a jacket from the wrappers last year and the
success of that project led her to create a dress for next
weekend's prom at Garner-Hayfield High School in Garner,
KIMT-TV, Mason City, Iowa, reported Tuesday. Rasmuson said
she began collecting wrappers in August and lost count of
how many went into her dress at about 200. Rasmuson's boy-
friend, Jordan Weaver, used gum wrappers to create a vest
to match his date's dress. Dawn Rasmuson, the girl's
mother, said she is proud of her daughter's accomplish-
ment. "I think it's really admirable for her. I mean she's
a junior in high school and in today's world a lot of the
girls are worried about fitting in; they don't want to
stand out for wrong reason so it's really cool and so
unique," she said.

Dead people "filing" tax claims is bad enough, but I don't
think anything will top the time the IRS tried taxing some
little kids' lemonade stand for making them income. They
only stopped because of the bad press it brought. How can
anyone deny the IRS is unAmerican?
Lewis, Your story about the professional tax preparers in
NYC that were caught in a sting operation is not bizarre,
not even that unusual. The IRS reports that tax cheats
cost the government billions upon billions in revenue.
The only thing bizarre about this story is how you were
able to leap to the conclusion that the IRS is the culprit.
-Dave
[A slight misunderstanding. What I meant is that the
'industry' is corrupt...although if you've been reading
the news recently you know that IRS employees owe the IRS
itself millions of dollars in unpaid taxes...so it's a
little bit of the pot calling the kettle black.]
Lewis, Did I read the story wrong? The IRS cracked down on
private tax preparers who were cheating the government. The
IRS was doing its job. As they say in the tax preparation
business... the difference between tax avoidance and tax
evasion...tax avoidance gets you 15 to 20 dollars back, tax
evasion gets you 15 to 20.
[Apparently not. Half the members of Congress, the
President's appointees and how many employees of the IRS
don't pay their taxes!]
It's hard for me to believe the cops were willing to take
that girl home. When my 19-yr old daughter was in a similar
situation, they left her by the side of the road! At night!
In a not-so-safe place!
I have to agree with the woman who said condoms aren't 100%
effective. I know from bitter experience! About 6 yrs ago,
my then fiancee decided he couldn't take the constraints of
family life. This wh0#e at his work kept telling him he
needed to get out of our relationship, that he could do
better than me (w/her of course). We broke up for a while
and while he was single he had sex w/her. She had herpes
and he didn't know it. He swears left right and sideways
that they used a condom. I believe him, he isn't a liar.
Well when we got back together we had sex, and about a week
later I started feeling like crap, so I went in and got
checked out.... I don't think I have ever been so angry in
my life! But we stayed together. -Ellen
[Do you know that old story about the hunter who shot a
charging lion with an umbrella and killed it...?]
