TSA agents pulled a 29-year-old mentally handicapped man out of line because he was armed — with a toy plastic hammer.

Detroit airport officers confiscated the toy from Drew Mandy, who has the mental capacity of a 2-year-old.

Neighbors complained about disgusting growth sprouting from a West Vancouver, Wash., home, and narcotics agents believed it was a telltale sign of a pot-growing operation.

When they raided the house, they found 1,600 cannabis plants valued at $2.4 million.

He almost kicked the bucket over his bucket list.

An Alabama man was nearly killed riding a bucking bull, suffering two broken ankles and a busted left arm.

“Some people want to jump out of a plane or go bungee jumping,” said Terry Hatfield, 56. “Riding a bull was on my bucket list.”
