Special Note From The Editor!
I would like to thank the folks at topica.com for profiling
the "Chronicles" this week in their "What's New at Topica"
newsletter. They called us the Keystone Kops-email. Here is
their profile of "Bizarre Police Chronicles."
LIST PROFILE: Keystone Kops ... By Email
Anyone who has ever watched "Cops" knows that, while crime
isn't funny, criminals often are. Some of these "menaces"
are so dimwitted, you wonder how they escaped natural
selection and actually made it to adulthood. Such mental
giants probably couldn't even spell the word"perfect," let
alone pull off the perfect crime.
It is exactly such misguided attempts at criminal endeavor,
along with outrageous laws, lame-brained excuses, and
strange 911 calls, that provide the fodder for the Bizarre
Police Chronicles list. This newsletter will bring tales so
crazy, you're likely to have trouble believing they're true.
For instance, check out this excuse a speeder gave to the
officer who pulled her over: "But officer, I just bought new
shoes and I applied the same pressure on the accelerator as
I did with my old shoes. Since my new shoes are heavier and
not broken-in yet, I didn't realize I was going any faster."
Not surprisingly, the officer ticketed the heavy-footed
speeder.
And while you laugh, thinking yourself secure as a law-
abiding citizen, you could, at this very moment, be breaking
laws you don't even know about! How about this one? "In
Washington state, lollipops are not allowed." Laws like this
can make criminals of us all -- especially the sugar-addicted!
Thanks Again Topica,
