WEIRD BUT TRUE
A Louisiana woman left a wake with a wedding ring snatched from the hand of the deceased, cops say.
Susan Duhon, 44, was charged with felony theft for ripping the ring off the body during a viewing in Crowley.

Aristotelis Belavilas is the new hero of everybody who’s ever had to wait, and wait and wait to see their doctor.
The 58-year-old Las Vegas man got so fed up waiting three hours to see his physician that he left and headed for his lawyer. He sued Dr. Ty Weller and was awarded $250 by a small-claims court.
“My time is worth something just like his is,” Belavilas said. An appalled Weller responded, “Even more important than the money is that now I have to worry about other patients doing this to me.”

Sorry, Your Honor, that’s not booze on my breath – just a beer-marinated burrito.
That’s the defense being used by William Dodge, 45, who stands accused of violating the terms of his work-release program in North Platte, Neb.

A Milwaukee hairstylist has launched “Ta Ta Tuesdays” – offering her male clients the opportunity to contribute to her breast-implant fund.
Erica Grabczyk, now a 36A, is also giving contributors the chance to vote on her new cup size.
“I can’t actually believe I am going to do this, but I have to if I want to get a pair of $5,700 boobs,” she said. “I hope they want a C, at most, but we’ll see.”

A Chicago bank president has shocked customers by praising Adolf Hitler as a top economic leader of his time.
Dave Raub of Glenview State Bank wrote in a newsletter: “The Great Depression of the 1930s saw falling prices, staggering unemployment and shattered stock markets . . . and the world’s leading statesmen seemed helpless to defeat it. Except for one. His name was Adolf Hitler.”
Red-faced bank officials have since apologized.
