Man Rolls in Dog Poop to Avoid Getting Arrested, Fails


(Photo: Karyn Christner)

It seemed like a foolproof plan. But like many brilliantly conceived capers, it failed anyway. Police in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania found a man walking into a busy street. They talked to him and discovered that he was drunk. They also pointed out that he had stepped in dog poop on the sidewalk.

This is when the suspect developed a cunning plan: if he was covered in dog poop, they police wouldn't be able to arrest him! The Times-Leader reports:

At that point, Franklin allegedly jumped to the ground and started rolling in dog feces. He then allegedly stated that officers could not arrest him because he is “covered in (expletive),” police said.

Franklin was taken into custody, cited and held until sober, police said.

This is a 19th Century British toothbrush and was particularly useful for removing barnacles and trapped weasels. Soft polishing bristles were of course avoided completely in order to maintain that famous "British Smile."

It is the Connach Anc Brannect, 'The Key to Happiness.' In old scottish legend the hero Divver McMuff forged the key from an entire mountain of ore, only to have it stolen by the Skaever king, Broelebogan, who through it in a lake. Forty years of war followed for no known reason, but a horrible curse was laid upon the finder of said key. You may keep the keep but I would like (if I win):

It's a tool for people who dye cloth. It grabs the wet cloth from the vats so you don't have to use your hands.

Campfire sausage holder. You have to use sausage not hotdogs because the points are too wide for thin hotdogs. Stick them on the dull points and put it into the campfire. yummy!

Before the invention of the waffle Iron, King Henry was bored with pancakes because the syrup always ran off and since plates with curved up edges didn't exist, this was always messy. He commissioned the kingdom's blacksmith to make a tool ( this one) to create dimples in the pancake and also make consistant rows thus allowing the syrup to not run off.
