Ridiculous Funny in the News

in #funny7 years ago

I moved from the city of Green Bay, WI to a much smaller city of Wisconsin Rapids, WI. I never knew what small town living was like but I learned really quick back in 2003 when the big headline in the paper was something about a customer finding the largest french fry in their meal. I instantly thought to myself, “What the heck did I get myself into?” I later found out this customer froze the french fry and then sold it on eBay for $202 (link to the story below).

As time when on and my son got older, we would take the time to read the police calls in the newspaper. Some of these calls were so crazy it was hard to believe they were real. We would be literally laughing so hard, we were crying. I felt sorry for poor staff and other customers in the restaurant that had to be near us.

Here are some recent examples of police calls below. Enjoy!

Nightcrawlers: At 9:12 p.m. a caller informed authorities of two individuals crawling around the outside of the courthouse.

Cucumber Ransom: At 6:26 a.m. a call was made from the 1400 block of 22nd Ave. South regarding a cucumber left on the caller’s table, along with a note. It is unclear what the note said.

Everywhere a Sign: At 2:26 p.m. authorities were notified of a confused woman on 12th St. South and Pepper allegedly talking to signs.

Impromptu Swim: At 4:43 p.m. dispatch was informed of a man, fully clothed, swimming in the river. The man allegedly swam to an island closer to W. Grand Ave.

Too funny! Fact is often stranger than fiction...

Yes, that is a true story. This is the kind of stuff you would hear on the late night talk shows! Although small town living is different, there is never a dull moment.

It's true story, right? So funny 😀 Have a nice day
