The Weirdo-American Community
Terry Klemann, 42, received several traffic citations and was ticketed for filing a false report after her car rammed two pickup trucks in Belleville, III., last month. An apparently serious Klemann maintained that her cocker spaniel, Mutzie 2, had gotten behind the wheel and maneuvered the car into the trucks. Later, she told the Belleville News-Democrat that several years ago the original Mutzie had driven Klemann's car into a tree in New York City.
Update
Although Los Angeles police-beating victim Rodney King was convicted in Alhambra, Calif., in July of misdemeanor hit-and-run for driving away while his estranged wife still was reaching into his car, he was acquitted of more serious charges, including assault with a deadly weapon. Outside the courtroom, a triumphant King told reporters, "Tm going to Disneyland."
Least Competent People
Columbus, Ohio, police arrested Timothy E. Lebo, 39, and Charles J. Kinser, 32, about 5 a.m. on June 5 and charged them with ripping an ATM out of a bank's wall and attempting to carry it away in the trunk of their car. When questioned by police, the pair tried to convince officers that the ATM was a washing machine.
In March, in Clawson, Mich., and in January, in Federal Way, Wash., parents mistakenly packed cans of Bud ice beer in their elementary schoolchildren's lunchboxes. They said they confused the Bud Ice with a Hawaiian Punch can (Clawson) and a holiday can of Pepsi (Federal Way).
Entrepreneurial Spirit
In an April Associated Press story, Leven Yueksel's and his wife Sherri Kane's 32-seat Dardanelles restaurant in Philadelphia was profiled, not for its food but for its attitude. According to a sign in the window, the restaurant refuses to serve "negative people." Say Yueksel and Kane, that includes people who smoke, who are
rude, who demand their food in a hurry, or who want the music turned down. The owners say they insist on respect "for the people who feed you."
The magazine Tokyo Weekender, reporting in late 1995 on the specialty-bra rage in Japan, cited the Triumph Co.'s "Body-Warmth Bra Two-Cup Ozeki." As padding, the bra contains a waterproof pocket sealed with a cork stopper and which comes with about 40 cc's of sake, which will warm to body temperature in about an hour.
Malaysian Gurcharan Singh announced in April that he was marketing a breakthrough, $40 "disposable circumcision device" approved by Muslim religious authorities. It is described as resembling a corkscrew and is called the Tara Klamp.
A Budapest, Hungary, novelty shopkeeper introduced condoms that, when unrolled, play one of two tunes ("Arise, Ye Worker" or "You Sweet Little Dumbbell"). And an Oakland, Calif, man has marketed a talking condom using similar technology but with message options ("You turn me on" or "I love you" or "Thank you for your business").
