Hey, do you know how to rack up $19,000 in parking tickets really easily? Just get a vanity license plate like this guy, then let the government go to work giving you tickets from another city.

That's scary, Thoul. Atleast he doesn't have to pay those fines....that would be bad and costly to boot. I think if I was him, I would want to get myself another tag number, etc., to try and avoid this from happening again if possible.

Woman passes driver's test after 950 tries:

Well, I really don't know what to say to this one. 950 times is an awful lot of times to take a test. However, I do think she deserves congratulations for never giving up until she accomplished her goal. I wonder how she will do on the actual driving test.

You know, it seems that after, oh I don't know, 100 times, someone might have advised her to study for a day or two before taking the test again. Letting this go on for four years is a farce. Either it was intended as an attempt to get in the media or a record book, or she really does not need to be driving.

LOL, I think this "Sugar Daddy" Ken doll is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen or heard about:

To me, the most ridiculous part of it is the price.

I kind of pity the forklift guy, 'cause you know he probably got fired after he had to clean up that mess. I can't decide if the drunk driver counts as a "stupid criminal" or a "conscientious citizen" story.

Women banned from wearing pants in Paris:

I don't know what to make of this, really. I thought it was socially acceptable for women to wear pants or trousers almost everywhere these days, except in a few select places, except maybe to Church or something like that..

Comments or Opinions?

I've heard of some stupid laws before, but that one takes the cake. I like the little tidbit about how all the city's policewomen are breaking the law, too.

Some people just don't seem to have the Christmas spirit this time of year:

It's a wonder those perfume bottles were not more expensive!
