One Way To Quit Smoking

Government is trying to force Americans to be more healthy and to stop smoking…..their attempts are not producing the results that they would like…at least not as quickly as they want.  But I read an article the other day that would put the liomber in your Johnson and be a hell of an incentive to stop smoking.

A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars. Josh Muszynski checked his account online a few hours later and saw the 17-digit number — a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

That could give a person a stroke and that would permanently stop the urge to light up.

There is a bit of good news from this story:

Muszynski says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $15 overdraft fee.

The bank corrected the error the next day.

As absurd as this story is the part that amazed me was the $15 overdraft fee……you mean that nowhere in the huge bank of computers that a red flag was not triggered by a $23 quadrillion charge….I mean we are talking about more money than all the cash in the world…and nowhere was this noticed?

Or maybe we should let him put the cost of Health care on his card……

All is well that ends well……..

How Not To Cool Off

In the South where I live this has been a bitch of a summer with heat indices up around 105 to 112…it really…really sucks!  But I had thought of getting naked as a way to cool off…but then I saw this story in the Associated Press:

LINCOLN, Neb. – Lincoln police arrested a man who they said made up a story about being robbed to explain why he was walking around a city park naked. Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said the man was arrested and jailed Wednesday night on suspicion of indecent exposure and making a false statement to police.

Police found the man naked in a southwest Lincoln city park on Monday. He told police a man with a gun tried to rob him, but he did not have any money, so the robber took his clothes.

Flood said the man really took off his clothes because he was hot. He walked around naked for about an hour, but afterward, he couldn’t find his clothes.

This is one of my favs…and this guy is in the running for moron of the week……

A Disgusting Smear Campaign

The Associated Press had reported on a most disgusting individual and his technique of protest.

ELGIN, Iowa – A man faces criminal mischief charges after he allegedly defecated on a downtown Elgin sidewalk and smeared feces on the door of a building. Authorities said the building houses the Valley Community Coalition. Officials believe the man targeted the organization, but they aren’t sure why.

Matthew J. Sodoma, 21, was arrested early Thursday and was also charged with defecating on a public sidewalk or building

Fayette County Sheriff Marty Fisher said the man’s action defies the basic morals of the community and was unacceptable.

Authorities said the charges are misdemeanors and are punishable by a fine between $65 and $650 and up to 30 days in jail.

Damn!  I would like to know what pised this guy so much….I would suggest that he also be forced into anger management…..jusr a thought.
