Signed, sealed, but not delivered
September 28, 2014Ken Brassington, a letter carrier for Canada Post, failed to deliver a package that was addressed to this house. But he did snap a photograph of the reason for his failure to do so.
Then he left a nice explanatory note at the post office for the homeowner.
Which makes Mr. Brassington a heckuva lot smarter than this guy.

Wisconsin residents: watch out for street gangs
September 2, 2011The Wisconsin State Patrol is warning residents who will be traveling this holiday weekend to be on the lookout for street gangs that have been causing problems in some parts of the state. Motorists who encounter street gangs such as the one pictured below are advised to remain in their vehicles with the windows rolled up until the gang has moved on. Above all, do NOT feed the gang members!
The Wisconsin State Patrol thanks you for your cooperation.

Next time, Pete, just let them have the bird seed
April 13, 2012Have you ever heard of Peter Shumlin? I hadn’t before today, and wouldn’t have heard of him today if he had not done something so spectacularly imbecilic that he came within inches of earning himself a Darwin award — not to mention almost forcing the citizens of his state to hold a special election.
Peter Shumlin is the governor of Vermont, and apparently a fanatical bird lover. Last night he heard a commotion in his back yard, which turned out to be four bears, recently awakened from hibernation, who were raiding his bird feeders. Outraged, unarmed, and dressed only his pajamas, Mr. Shumlin ran outside and tried to chase the bears away.
I swear I am not making this up.
Oh, and did I mention that two of the bears were cubs? How does someone get elected dogcatcher, let alone governor, who is idiot enough to get into a confrontation with a mother bear and her cubs — especially over something as inconsequential as bird seed?
Thank goodness, neither Mr. Shumlin nor any of the bears were harmed in the kerfuffle. According to his spokeswoman, Sue Allen, Shumlin “is urging all Vermonters to bring in feeders at night and don’t put them up in the spring.”
Vermonters might also consider electing someone a little brighter as governor the next time they have the opportunity.
