‘Police? My onion rings are cold!’
A U.S. woman was arrested for calling 911 after a restaurant served her cold onion rings.
Sharita Williams, 30, of Houma, La., told police the food was cold when she received it and the waiter refused to replace it.
So she dialed 911 from the Malt-N-Burger restaurant in Thibodaux, reports the Daily Comet.
Police turned up- but only to arrest Williams for wasting police time. She is due in court in December.
The art of flashing
A U.S. student who was arrested for indecent exposure at a career fair says it was a work of performance art.
Police say Misha Sulpovar walked up to a stall with his zip open and then colored his “genitals” with a highlighter pen.
Sulpovar, an art and religious studies student at Webster University in Missouri, insists he was challenging taboos.
In a blog, he appears to suggest the indecent exposure was fake when he wrote: “I go out to a populated, neutral, public place with an unzipped fly and what appears to be scrotum-like flesh hanging out”.
But he would not reveal whether he actually exposed himself and said the question itself was becoming just as much a part of the experiment as the act itself.
“The reaction completely changes when you change the narration behind the image,” Sulpovar told the Webster University Journal. “Real or fake are two separate narratives.”
Sulpovar was charged with indecent exposure and is due to appear in court on Dec. 14.
Tooth pulled out with pliers
A woman got her tooth pulled out with pliers- because she couldn’t get an appointment with a dentist.
Janet Young, from Wrexham, North Wales, was forced to take action when she were told there was no emergency dentists and she couldn’t afford private care.
According to The Sun she said, “I had a drink and asked my friend to pull the tooth out. I was in agony, but what else could I do?”
A NHS Direct representative said, “We will investigate to see if there was a problem with the service we provided.”
