Years ago, France set the restrictions that anyone under 5ft 3″ could not be a police officer. If you weren’t at least 1.60m, you could not try to become a police officer.
Frenchmen at one time were a little shorter like Napoleon who was about 1.65m. Over the years their height increased and the requirements were increased also.
Some thought it wasn’t right that a very qualified person, could be less then 5ft3″ tall, but not be taken only because of their being a...
Ron Sveden was taken to the hospital with a collapsed lung.
He had been fighting emphysema for months and it was getting worse.
They did X-rays on his lungs which showed a growth in his lung. He was sure he had cancer.
Well, I imagine he was really elated when the doctors found the mass to be a pea plant growing in his lung.
Doctors figure that sometime, Ron must have been eating some peas and one went down his windpipe. Somehow the pea started growing.
He did have a good humor about...

At a Krispy Kreme location in Fayetteville, N.C. a customer ordered a box of 12 fresh out of the oven glazed donuts.
Well, what they got was much better then any donuts I have ever eaten. In the box of donuts, instead of donuts the patron should have found $5000. in cash.
Unknowing to the clerk who was selling the donuts at the time., the manager had put the stores cash receipts into the donuts box to keep the cash safe until it could be deposited into the bank.
This...

This dog has proven himself to be mans best friend in a way no one would have thought of. He chewed off his owners toe.
Now you may think that is a weird way of showing love, but dogs have a keen sense of things and this one sensed danger.
The man, while passed out on his bed from drinking, apparently didn’t feel a thing. When he woke up there was blood and his toe was nothing but a bloody stub.
His dog, Kiko, a terrier had...

I really loved watching Ellen with the judges last year, but she never quite got comfortable with it. She didn’t like the part of the job where you tell a singer that they had things to work on, or that it was time to go back home.
“A couple of months ago, I let Fox and the ‘American Idol’ producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me,” she said last night in a statement.
Ellen’s decision to quit Idol puts them into a sticky situation. New York auditions...
I have heard of some rather different ways of tying the knot, but this one is the strangest yet.
On Saturday, Drew Ellis and Lisa Satayut, were married in a TJ Maxx which is located in Mt.Pleasant, Michigan. They choose to be married in a shoe aisle, size 8. This had long been something the bride had wanted to do.
She wore the traditional white gown with black lengthy gloves. Her vivid green sandals were a nice accent to the ensemble.
The shoe aisle was decorated for the wedding. There...
We have pedestrian crossings, and deer crossing, now we have a Zebra crossing.
The Swiss have built the first Zebra crossing I have read about. There may be others, but none that I have seen.
The transportation officials were building a road through a field. On this road there was to be marked out, a zebra crossing.
The road project was canceled but the crossing was already there.
I don’t think they actually were planning on Zebra’s crossing the road at that point.
The crossing was meant for pedestrians and not zebras. With the...
