Re: WTF in America
Never get drunk, think your spouse has done something with your action figure collection and use an ax to destroy your property. Man did just that, his wife was not home at the time, he then called police on himself.
Had no idea one could be charged with felony damage to property for ruining your own things though.

You can't damage your own property? Odd...
I can relate to him vis a vis my comic collection.

Blaze Pizza. (Fantastic by the way.)
https://blazepizza.com/
I just got emailed a lunchtime offer of Half Pizza for $5.00
The Full Pizza is generally no more than $8.45

Does that qualify as a wtf because he shot five people or because he killed everyone in a bank?? Shootings are so common here that it's not getting much more air time on the local news stations than the story highlighting Florida as the most dangerous place to be a pedestrian, with our locality ranking as fourth highest pedestrian deaths in the nation.
The third leading local news story is definitely a wtf - toerag on the run from the police tries to escape by swimming across a lake, besides the fact that this area's lakes are riddled with Gators and Cottonmouth snakes, this muppet didn't know how to swim!

If I'd been kicked off because I stink, I wouldn't be talking about it to national TV.

Re: WTF in America
That happened on a flight to Chicago that I boarded at LHR back in 1999. A family in the center seats, looked as if they might have been from Turkey or somewhere east of there. They were there for a while as the plane filled up, but eventually someone came and spoke with them and they all trooped off the plane. There wasn't any "scene" made, but I wonder what they were told, and what happened to them next? ... Taken to the animal unit and hosed down?

Re: WTF in America
Not your typical way to get drunk. Driver pulled over drunk on pure vanilla extract.

'To qualify as a flavor extract a vanilla extract still has to be judged non-potable.
The unenviable job of testing vanilla extracts to make sure that no sane, mature, or mentally and emotionally healthy person would want to drink them straight?
Yep, that falls to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau too, which subjects flavor extracts to a series of tests to make sure they're not going to end up the next big thing at high-school post-prom parties across America.
Which brings us back to the poor souls who drink vanilla extract to get drunk, who probably safely fall outside the common standard for a "reasonable person" by that point.
Legislation and obscure tax regulations aren't going to help someone like that, but a good substance-abuse counselor, psychiatrist, or rehab clinic might.'
Sounds like it might be next big thing at high-school post-prom parties

Re: WTF in America
I knew a railway conductor who regularly came to work with a thermos full of vanilla and coffee and made some terrible mistakes. He spotted empties where full loads were supposed to go and vice-versa, and sometimes he'd forget how many cars he had on and back the train through stop-blocks, fence, and into the ditch. He did that so often and he was so close to retirement they just stopped fixing the fence until he was gone. He called it "Black Magic". My friend who winters in Weslako near Brownsville brings the good vanilla back from Mexico. I don't use enough to warrant having anything but artificial.
