Weird but true
Shut yo’ mouth, buddy!
A 58-year-old Bremerton, Wash., motorist got so angry when a 55-year-old jokester shouted a “Yo’ momma” line at him that he slammed on the brakes of his pickup and proceeded to beat the funnyman with a stick.
The high-sticker was busted.

One of the basic requirements for running an animal shelter: Know what a dog looks like.
Yet the Frankfort Humane Society in Kentucky failed that simple test, mistaking someone’s purebred, pedigree Shiba Inu pooch for a coyote — and setting it loose in the woods.
The dog, named Copper, is now lost.

This bruin is definitely smarter than your average bear.
The black bear jumped into an empty car in a town 30 miles outside Denver and went for a drive.
He was apparently trying to get at a peanut-butter sandwich left on the car seat when he leaned on the horn and knocked the car into gear. It rolled 125 feet into a thicket.
The bear wasn’t hurt.

If you’re trying to promote your pet store, having a “Bring Your Rottweiler” day is probably not the best way to do it.
A shop in Auckland, New Zealand, made the mistake, however, with dire consequences.
Before the event could get rolling, one Rottie went crazy and bit a store worker’s face, ripping off a chunk of her lip. The dog was later declared a “menace” but not put down.

An Australian teen went on the ultimate joyride.
The 16-year-old boy broke into a firehouse in Lithgow, New South Wales, and stole a firetruck.
The drunken teen then turned on the lights and drove down the street until cops pulled him over.
