A foot fetish freak who’s caressed the feet of over 50 women throughout New Hampshire and managed to duck cops has struck again.

“He asked what size feet I had and said, ‘Can I touch them?’ He grabbed my ankle and pulled my foot out of my shoe,” said the victim, who was accosted in a Dover parking lot. “The way he was caressing my foot was absolutely stomach-turning. Finally, I yelled, ‘No! Don’t! Stop! I’ve got to get to work!’ and kicked my feet.”

A retired Pennsylvania farmer loves the creamed sausage on toast at a restaurant so much that he goes there twice a day – spending a total of four hours and 20 minutes on the road to do so!

Ed Melsky, 77, makes the trip from Middletown to West Rockhill to have lunch and dinner at the Roy Ann Diner, with each one-way journey lasting one hour and five minutes. The conversation is good, too, Melsky insists.

Two moms were charged with battery and disorderly conduct when one pepper-sprayed the other during a catfight inside the Chicago school their kids attend.

Shakira Offord, 25, and Christie Ray, 24, were listed in police records as victims and offenders after they mixed it up for unknown reasons at the Herbert Elementary School, said Officer Matthew Jackson.

But the incident didn’t seem to bother the school’s 500 pupils – they had to be evacuated because of the pepper spray.

A 23-year-old Italian wife has been granted a divorce – after successfully arguing that her bossy mother-in-law was ruining her life.

“She would keep on constantly, saying I was only interested in make-up and dieting so I could attract other men. She said I was a poor mother and didn’t deserve her son,” the woman told Italy’s Supreme Court.

“My husband was completely dominated by his mother. He was a slave to her.” The husband has now returned to live with mom.

The week’s Bad Taste Award goes to a news Web site in Bosnia that’s running a competition to find the best car-crash photo.

Residents in Mostar are being urged to keep cameras in their vehicles and snap pictures of every crash they see – whether there are fatalities or not.

The http://www.bljesak.info site says the person who sends in the picture of the “best” accident will win – believe it or not – a car.
