Greetings fellow Bizarros:


You never know what kind of gems will turn up just by reading the police blotter. Take this little drama which unfolded in Michigan.

A man in Saginaw says he spent nearly 4 hours at a gas station after getting one of his fingers trapped in his sport utility vehicle's gas tank.

Victor Harris said he was attempting to remove a piece of paper from his Lincoln Navigator's gas tank Friday, when he found he was unable to extract his finger from his vehicle.

"A piece of paper was around the little hole, so I just tried to put my little finger in there, rub it off," Harris said. "My finger just slipped in there. It was like, 'Dang, it won't come out!'"

Dang, indeed.

He tried unsuccessfully for nearly 2 hours to remove his finger, before fire crews and emergency personnel were called to the scene. The emergency workers ultimately cut the vehicle's gas tank out to allow Harris to be taken to a nearby hospital with his finger still trapped.

Finally, after 4 1/2 hours, Harris' finger was freed and the Saginaw resident had a lesson to share.

"Don't stick my finger back in the gas tank."

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Woman, 105, invited to preschool --*

TIERP, Sweden - A Swedish preschool said a 105-year-old woman received an acceptance letter to its class because she was born in '07 -- but it turned out to be the wrong '07. The Central School in Tierp said Anna Eriksson, 105, received one of the letters that were sent to more than 60 local children who were born in 2007, The Local.se reported Thursday. Marinna Eriksson, principal of the school, said the population registry provided the school with the names and addresses of the children, and no one noticed one of the letters was being sent to Anna Eriksson, who was born in 1907. "Her daughter got in touch and she and I both thought it was pretty funny. The two of them and I could see the humor in what happened," the principal said. The principal said the senior citizen is still welcome to attend a school open house for prospective students. "It would be fun if Anna Eriksson wanted to come here to meet the school's leadership and have coffee," she said.

South Glen Falls Police Chief Kevin Judd and Saratoga County District Attorney James Murphy III said the mother, whose name was not released, threw a surprise party for her son's 16th birthday Nov. 3 at Spare Time bowling alley, and the event was attended by 80 people, mostly 14- and 15-year-olds, The (Schenectady, N.Y.)

"We're looking into it," Judd said. A Spare Time employee declined to comment on the incident.

Florida Police taser a citizen trying to save his house from a fire.. Bless their hearts.. never occurred to them to pick up a garden hose and help him? Ah yes, the gov't gravy train.. freebies for all.. the only problem with Socialism, is you eventually run out of other people's money to give away. -corky
[Between China and the Federal Reserve we can push that date off for years. At least two or three, anyway.]

Lewis the only holiday that TZ could be fittingly used naked on the lunch room table wth all the others eating sushi off of him would be Halloween...
[How did you know we do that? Except it's not sushi for Halloween, it's sweets. I remember the year one of the customer service girls accidentally grabbed his gummy worm.]

Why would anyone give $200 to a person she did not know and then get all the way home before even checking out what she bought? I'm sorry Ms Freeman, but chalk this one up to a lesson learned. -Shirl

People are joking that the states would never leave the union. It happened with the USSR, which we played a role in. It can happen here. After going to USdebtclock.org and seeing all the changing numbers, my guess if it does, they would join with other states that leave and it would be called; The United States of Common Sense.
