In a battle of blades, you don’t want to bring a steak knife to a sword fight.

Luckily for two men in Wichita, Kan., cops showed up before their sharp battle could get too nasty in a motel parking lot.

A 37-year-old man with a sword was poised to take hacks against a man, 57, who only had a steak knife.

Cops suspect methamphetamine and pot might have fueled the dispute.

A teen boy had reason to fear the reaper.

An allegedly drunk mom recklessly sped down I-95 near Ormond Beach, Fla., after her family attended a Blue Oyster Cult concert.

The woman’s teen son called cops from the car to say mom was wasted and driving 100 mph, adding:

“She’s not a very smart alcoholic — at all.”

Luckily the car ran out of gas and they ended up on the side of the road as cops showed up.

Manning plans to end his feast on Nov. 1 and then go on a six month workout to drop all his extra pounds.
