Talk about the tail wagging the dog!

Owners of bored border collies, bred to control herds, are renting sheep just to keep their lackadaisical pooches occupied.

A farm in Olympia, Wash., charges $15 per dog to “herd” a 200-head flock of sheep for one day of fun and practice.

Forget “The Little Old Lady from Pasadena” — how about this old dude from Fairfield?

Connecticut motorists couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw an unidentified senior — wearing a blue winter coat and sunglasses — cruising down the breakdown lane of I-95 in a motorized wheelchair.

A pulled-over Dallas driver knew there was an arrest warrant out for him on drug charges.

So he had a great idea to beat the rap: Give cops his cousin’s name.

The convictions against Albert Bront, 51, will probably put a dent into his career and lead to termination by his current employer.

Bront is a revenue agent for the IRS.
