Believe me, I’ve tried!

Some days, life is miserable. Some times, the only way to keep from crying is to find a way to laugh. That’s why I love the Odd News section. When I need to laugh, I check out the Odd News. Why? The people are real. The stories are surreal.

Take for example today’s story about a man in Poland. He ran into the most interesting person while visiting a brothel: his wife. Most of you immediately thought, “Great! I’m glad she caught him.” Not so fast. She was one of the working girls.

It seems that she had told him she was working in a store. She failed to mention that she was peddling … well, you get the idea. The story says they got a divorce. I particularly liked that the story is accompanied by a picture of the room at the brothel. (Empty of course.) It looks like a room at a bed and breakfast. Bet they make a deluxe omelet.

That kind of wackiness isn’t confined to Europe. Why just yesterday, two men in New York wheeled a dead man in an office chair to a check cashing store to cash his Social Security Check. You really need to read this one. Go ahead, click on the link. I’ll wait.

Does it get any better than that? I like the fact that they tried to dress him, but couldn’t get his pants on! It’s hard to dress a corpse. Much harder when you’re a heroin addict. I also liked that they faked surprise when the man was pronounced dead. It’s hard to act. Much harder when you’re a heroin addict. Even harder if your Paris Hilton.

Carry on, Citizens!
