Greetings fellow Bizarros:

There are good ways and bad ways to handle a bad situation. Murder is rarely one of the good ways, especially when the bad situation is a marriage. But like the old saying goes, 'when enough is enough' you have to do something about it.

Maybe that is why this newlywed wife with doubts about her 8-day-old marriage confessed she pushed her husband face-first off a cliff in Glacier National Park in Montana, then lied about his death and told authorities he had driven off with friends.

To all appearances 25-year-old Cody Lee Johnson was in love and excited for his marriage to Jordan Linn Graham, but his relatives suspected that Graham didn't exactly reciprocate, family friend Tracey Maness said. She was aloof, didn't want to spend time with his family, Maness said.

Johnson told his mother that Graham would change when they got married, Maness said.

"Nobody ever could have thought something like this could happen," she said.

On the night Johnson died, Graham told a friend that she meant to talk with Johnson about "having second thoughts about having been married."

Five days later, Graham admitted to authorities that she and Johnson had an argument, were upset and decided to go to the Loop Trail in the park.

They continued arguing on the trail, and it intensified. At one point, she turned to walk away, but Johnson grabbed her arm, she said.

She turned around, removed his hand from her arm and "due to her anger, she pushed Johnson with both hands in the back, and as a result, he fell face first off the cliff," the affidavit said.

Graham is now facing a second-degree murder charge.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Police: Drunk horseback rider said he was traveling 600 miles --*
BOULDER, Colo. - University of Colorado police said a man accused of drunken horseback riding told officers he was traveling to Utah to attend a wedding. CU police spokesman Ryan Huff said police received calls Monday about a man on a horse wandering into traffic in Boulder and some witnesses said they saw the man strike the horse, the Daily Camera, Boulder, reported Tuesday. Police stopped Patrick Neal Schumacher, 45, of Colorado Springs, who was found to be carrying a pug in a backpack. He also had beer and a black powder pistol in one of his saddlebags, police said. Schumacher, who failed field sobriety tests, told officers he was attempting a 600-mile trip to Bryce, Utah, for his brother's wedding. Schumacher was charged with a traffic infraction of riding a horse while under the influence of alcohol and misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty, prohibited use of weapons and reckless endangerment.


*-- British bus driver fined for extra rider says it was a blow-up doll --*
MANCHESTER, England - A British party bus driver said the extra passenger that led to him being fined $688.86 was a blow-up doll, not an actual human. Bash Ali, 41, of Oldham, England, said he was driving the Mercedes minibus from Oldham into a trendy section of nearby Manchester when he was pulled over and cited for using a motor vehicle on a road when the load or passengers were likely to cause danger when police said he was carrying nine people, more than his allowed eight, The Daily Mirror reported Monday. Ali said the ninth passenger was actually a blow-up doll, but he pleaded guilty to the charge in court because he couldn't afford a lawyer. He was ordered to pay $688.86 in fines and costs. "I have no faith in the justice system," he said. Prosecutor Paul Scott said police were confident the bus was occupied by nine humans when it was pulled over March 30. "There are dangers, clearly, for anybody inside the vehicle and anybody outside the vehicle when it is overloaded," Scott said. "So essentially what the council says is that the vehicle was overloaded and that they were all human beings."

'Keistering' is my new favorite word. Not sure how I'll work it into conversations-ooh, wait- how about 'I bet THAT idea has been keistering for a while'? You just made my day.
[Glad I and the prison system could help.]

Regarding the idiot Who is suing the two churches over the noise created by the bells. I'm sure these churches were there long before he moved into his house & if what he claims that the bells caused his marriage to dissolve then it probably wasn't a strong one in the first place. sounds like these dopes who move near a airport or auto race track and then continually complain about the noise. -Ralph
[Or move in next to a whore house and then complain about all the sluts.]

We had a friend who found great relaxation in his later years making love to his wife in time to the tolling of the bells before Mass every day. He would still be with us today if it was not for that fire engine ringing it bells as it ripped thru the village on the way to a fire.
[How did I know somebody was going to pull out this ancient gag?]

I wonder what would've happened if the gun went off somehow before it was found? Can u imagine? Ew! -Anna
[I have heard of butt-dialing, but butt-firing???]
