Wondering about wild grapes

Wow, and This Actually Happened.

Head-on collisions on the highways are always bad and never have a happy ending.  But what is worse would be if they were actually head-on collisions.  Am I making sense?  I guess not.  Well, maybe this article that I found on the internet will explain:

"Two West German motorists had an all-too-literal head-on collision in heavy fog near the small town of Guetersloh. Each was guiding his car at a snail's pace near the center of the road. At the moment of impact their heads were both out of the windows when they smacked together. Both men were hospitalized with severe head injuries. Their cars weren't scratched."

And I also found this one on how to get rid of a nosy, thieving, bad neighbor:

"Hitting on the novel idea that he could end his wife's incessant nagging by giving her a good scare, Hungarian Jake Fen built an elaborate harness to make it look as if he had hanged himself. When his wife came home and saw him she fainted. Hearing a disturbance a neighbor came over and, finding what she thought were two corpses, seized the opportunity to loot the place. As she was leaving the room, her arms laden, the outraged and suspended Mr. Fen kicked her stoutly in the backside. This so surprised the lady
that she dropped dead of a heart attack. Happily, Mr. Fen was acquitted of manslaughter and he and his wife were reconciled."


There is actually nothing I can add to these true stories, except to tell you to have a great day, you hear?

    1. A little weird mixed in with news would make the news easier to swallow.

  4. I love this story. I could see the woman's reaction as she keeled over after being kicked. I have an overactive imaginatio, I guess!
