Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Ok, here is the rule; If you see a snarling dog locked in a cage, do NOT stick your fingers through the wire to try to pet it.

That, apparently, is a rule that was never taught to one 11-year-old Florida boy who did just that...and had his finger bitten off.

While he might not have been the best at teaching common sense lessons, the boy's dad was prepared to take control of the situation, by pulling the dog out of the cage and shooting it several times.

This was no revenge killing. The father was trying to recover the finger, which he did. The story does not give details so I will leave it to you to speculate on how he did that.

After removing the severed finger from the dog's stomach he waited for emergency responders to arrive. The boy was air-lifted to All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg for treatment. His condition was not immediately released.

A preliminary investigation supports a father's account of the shooting and Manatee County Animal Control removed the dog's remains from the home.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

* Company makes bacon condoms, sunscreen *
SEATTLE - A Seattle company specializing in bacon-flavored products said its two newest products aren't for ingestion -- bacon sunscreen and bacon-flavored condoms. J&D's Foods, famous for products included bacon-flavored salt and "baconnaise" sandwich spread, said it is releasing an SPF 30 sunscreen designed to keep the wearer "smelling like something delicious is cooking for several hours," WEWS-TV, Cleveland, reported Monday. The company is also releasing condoms that look like bacon and are coated with "an ultra-premium Bacon-flavored personal lubricant." The bottles of sunscreen and condom three-packs each cost $9.99.


* Police: Arson suspect mad about snoring *
SALT LAKE CITY - Police in Salt Lake City said a man charged with setting fire to his wife's clothing while she slept was upset about the woman's snoring. Investigators said they responded last week to the home of Bryce Ray Whitaker, 60, on a report of a fire, the (Salt Lake City) Deseret News reported. Whitaker told officers he lit a candle on his gas stove and used it to ignite his wife's pants and a box while she took a nap. He said he decided to light the fire after he and the woman argued about "her snoring and her stuff." Police said Whitaker woke his wife up when the fire got out of control and they fled the house. Whitaker was charged Thursday in 3rd District Court with a first-degree felony count of aggravated arson.

As much as I would like to disagree with the ruling, games like Dodge Ball can be used as a bullying tactic. In most cases this happens when there isn't sufficient level of adult supervision and intervention when the game is played. -Howard
[Or when that sissy kid, Percy, gets a fast one square in the face.]

why government has grown since 2008? We have more people in this country since 2008. We have more disabled veterans in this country, more bridges falling and more sewers collapsing. We have a lot more people retired since 2008. Given that some of them were already disabled, but employed, or became unemployed because they became disabled, some of them got SSI. Stuff needs to be paid for. Are you ready to give up your deductions and pay more taxes so Mitt Romney can give more to the Mormon Church? -Jean
[What Mittens Romney gives to the Mormon Church doesn't have anything to do with swollen disability, unemployment and welfare rolls. What I have robbed from me in order to support that monolithic bureaucracy DOES.]

Lewis; It's been decades since "homeless persons" became the more politically correct term for those people that were once referred to as "bums." Now I think it's time to come up with a new kinder and gentler name for them. My suggestion is "urban campers." -- R.S.R.
