An Indiana municipal worker drove 75 miles with his dad’s corpse in the car after the old man passed away on vacation.

Cops say Calumet City Personnel Director Tom Schab waited until he arrived home from Bass Lake before reporting the death of his 83-year-old dad, August. Officials say his actions were weird, but not criminal.

“It was possibly a case of poor judgment or a lack of familiarity with who to call,” said police Sgt. Paul Ritchie.

Catholics in Iowa are furious over a new sports bar to be called Hail Mary’s Last Chance Sports and Spirits.

Two sanitation workers in upstate Rochester were canned for having sex with a hooker in their garbage truck while on duty.

But the stench of the incident remains for Vincent Grecco, who was walking with his 4-year-old niece when they witnessed the shenanigans.

“As a guy, I could shrug it off, but my niece saw this. It’s hard enough to raise a 4-year-old in this city, and for her to see this was simply too much,” Grecco said.

A 15-year-old Italian boy hitchhiked 1,250 miles to see a Swedish girl he fell in love with on a U.S. holiday – only to get the cold shoulder.

The schoolboy met the 17-year-old in the United States and couldn’t stop thinking about her when he got home to Milan, so he hitchhiked to Taeby, Sweden.

“The girl’s father agreed the youngsters could meet. [But] when he arrived to pick the boy up, he took him straight to the airport, as his daughter had decided he was an already-forgotten holiday romance,” a police spokesman said.
