Some days, Yahoo's "Odd News" lives up to the name

Found in my daily mail from The SimplyHeadlines Experiment:

Mich. man in wheelchair takes wild ride

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - A 21-year-old man got the ride of a lifetime when his electric wheelchair became lodged in the grille of a semitrailer and was pushed down a highway for several miles at about 50 mph.

I hope he had a change of diaper with him.

Cops raid wrong place, kick man in groin

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Annapolis police raided the wrong apartment Wednesday night, using flash grenades and kicking a resident in the groin before they realized their mistake, police and the family said.

As everyone knows, a kick in the groin is guaranteed comedy gold, as long as it's someone else's groin.

Calif. man charged with killing Wee Wee

Uh...

Never mind.

As Chtulu is my witness, the heading above is copied straight from the SimplyHeadlines email. Apparently, Yahoo or AP subsequently changed it to read "Man charged with shooting pet goose". Which, honestly, doesn't even qualify as funny enough to excerpt, let alone make fun of, so if you want to read anything about that story, you'll have to just click the link above.

Y'know, if a cop ever offers to rochambeau me in exchange for my freedom, I'd have to think real hard about it.

Or, alternatively, I wonder if that happens with that cop all the time. All his friends are hanging out in the one buddy's basement rec room with the bar and pooltable, having a beer, playing darts and shooting the shit, when here comes this guy crashing into the room and shouting "nobody move!" while he puts a foot into the nearest convenient crotch and then looks expectantly around for the adulation and general mirth that is sure to follow. Everybody looks away or into their glasses as the victim writhes in pain. Someone, a different person every time, says, "God damn it, Joe."

So *that's* what a rochambeau is?

I really should have paid much closer attention to that South Park clip, back in the day.

See,

That's what society gets when they allow cops to play wannabe soldiers. I hope their LT had a huge bucket of Preparation H, cause he's gonna need it when the lawyers get done with him.

Don't get me wrong, fellers. I have great respect for awthoritay. It's those swat guys that need some time out.
