Horny Goat Weed?

September 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Um…..

A Chinese herbal remedy called horny goat weed is a promising alternative to Viagra for impotent men, Italian researchers said on Monday.

Horny goat weed?  My first thought is Muslim men and their field frolics.  But would this be for the Muslim men, or their goats?

Stupid Criminals: The “He’s So Horny” Edition

He’s so horny….

Sometimes, blowing your own horn is too much of a good thing. Glen Falls police said an upstate New York driver who was stopped for blowing his vehicle’s horn excessively was charged with driving while intoxicated.

Glens Falls police said Rodney Northey told them he was blowing his horn on a downtown street dotted with bars to let “people know he was in town.”

Officers on duty noticed, pulled Northey over late Saturday and found his blood alcohol content was point-23 percent, nearly three times over the amount for legal intoxication.

Northey was charged with aggravated DWI, a misdemeanor, and ticketed for excessively blowing his horn.

My only question is this…was everyone happy to know that “he was in town?”  Ha!

How’s THIS for a getaway vehicle?

A man sprayed an armored car driver with pepper spray, grabbed a bag of money and escaped via inner tube down a river in Washington state.

Police spokeswoman Debbie Willis says the driver was robbed late Tuesday morning while leaving a Bank of America branch in Monroe.

The robber grabbed a money bag and ran about 100 yards to a creek that runs into the Skykomish (sky’-KOH’-mish) River.

One witness reported the man floated off on an inner tube. Another said he swam to an inflatable raft that may have been made from an inner tube.

Did they think no one would notice?!?

Thousands of dollar bills stolen from a restaurant in California’s high desert could not have been more clearly marked: The Homestead had a tradition of customers writing messages on the currency and hanging it on the walls.

Authorities allege that didn’t stop 34-year-old Donald Dejarnette from using some of the cash last week to pay for – of all things – a court fine.

Kern County sheriff’s Sgt. Tyson Davis said a clerk immediately recognized the bills. Some even had “Homestead” written on them.

Utah – Scratched from the Vacation List

Say it isn’t so!

On Wednesday, Utah will be the only state to ban the sale of fruity alcoholic drinks at grocery stores and convenience stores in an effort to keep them from minors. Those drinks also must have new state-approved labels on the front of the product that contain capitalized letters in bold type telling consumers the drinks contain alcohol and at what percentage.

Blasphemy, I say!

Mark of the beast or just a cool road sign?

Is the Garden State Parkway the highway to hell? Or is the New Jersey Turnpike the road to damnation? Someone keeps stealing the metal signs at mile marker 66.6 along the heavily traveled toll roads, and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority is having a devil of a time keeping up with the thefts.

It’s been happening all over the country, particularly on roads with names like Route 666. Officials aren’t sure if the thefts are being committed by religious zealots upset about the number’s association in the Bible with the devil, by Satanic scavenger hunters, or by college students who think a ‘666′ sign would look cool in their dorm room.

Joe Orlando, a spokesman for the Authority, said officials have no idea who is taking the signs.

“Maybe it’s just some kids with a Devil-may-care attitude,” Orlando said.

It must be da DEBIL doing dat!

…of Hugs and Handcuffs

What’s up with Iowa?

A hug has landed an Iowa City man in hot water. An Iowa City man who thought a police officer just “needed a hug” faces several charges including assault on a peace officer and public intoxication.

Police said a 21-year-old man was arrested on Saturday. According to police records, the man ran up to the officer and stuck out his arms.

The officer told him to “get away,” but the man didn’t take the hint and embraced the officer.

Doesn’t love make the world go ’round?
