For a Maryland woman, it was a rather unique price to pay for stealing $4.52 in gas from a service station.

Sherelle Purnell, 18, was ordered to stand for three hours outside the Salisbury station with a sign that read, “I was caught stealing gas.”

The gas station pushed for the unusual punishment after Purnell was caught on a surveillance tape speeding away in her car without paying.

She must have been in a radio daze.

A Buffalo escort who publicly pitched her services on a radio station when she called to request a song was busted in an undercover sting by cops.

An off-duty cop had heard Melissa “Pussycat” Blumberg’s on-air plug, took down the phone number and notified his colleagues.

Blumberg, 29, was charged with prostitution after agreeing to perform sexual acts for an undercover detective in her home.

An elderly Miami Beach woman and lifelong Democrat had a bizarre last wish: that George W. Bush not be re-elected.

Joan Abbey, who died this week, asked loved ones, in lieu of flowers or contributions to charity, to do everything they could to see that Bush loses the November election.

Ironically, Abbey died on the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

This is sure to jolt coffee lovers.

The world’s most expensive coffee really does taste better – because the beans from which it is brewed have been eaten and defecated by a civet cat, according to a new study.

Researcher Massimo Marcone said you can really taste the difference between Kopi Luwak beans that have and have not passed through a civet cat’s digestive system.

A Berlin driving instructor who has been teaching people how to drive for the past 43 years has confessed that he himself has never had a driver’s license.

The man, identified by cops as Wolf-Dieter R., said he was too nervous to retake the driver’s test after he failed the first time.

He was caught by cops after he was involved in a minor car crash recently.
