Some lightly salted absurdities from all over...
At the extreme left-hand of the bell curve
A man broke into a home in Esperance, Western Australia, and being thirsty, checked out the the fridge. And found it was full of France's finest. And decided to try the bubbly. And liked. So he had some more. And more. And fell asleep.
And so didn't hear the owner come home. Nor the police, until they woke him. Burglary charges.

Guess the outcome
Christina Gaud, 30, had agreed with her pal Rodney Snow to rob a convenience store. But Christina couldn't find a babysitter for her 10 year old child. Did she:
a. phone Rodney and call off the robbery;
b. ask her parents to mind the child, telling them she had a hot date;
c. leave the child alone, at home; or
d. bring the child along to the robbery.
Close. But no cigar. The correct answer is d. The child stayed in the car, driven by Christina, whilst Rodney robbed the store. But the cops were nearby. And arrested Christina on charges of felony child neglect and principal to armed robbery. The child was not injured. Rodney ended up in hospital as he shot himself.

Only in America
In the US, Coca-Cola Co. is set to replace Coke Zero, which contains zero sugar, with Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, which contains zero sugar.

W&D is glad that is clear. Bonus: both non-sugar beverages contain artificial sweeteners.
Have a wry and dry weekend
