What Were They Thinking??

Did you hear about the 38 year old woman in Berlin, Germany who lost her purse. She made a report with the police and was so overjoyed when she received a call from them that she hopped right into her car and drove to the station to collect it. The problem with doing this was the she was totally intoxicated and did nothing to hide it. She parked out front of the station and stumbled in to collect her belongings. The police promptly gave her the purse and immediately asked her for her license back along with her car keys. She was charged with DUI and lost her license for a year.

Then there is the case of the 69 year old Brooklyn man who tossed his bowling ball off of his 17th story apartment balcony. The problem with this is that the ball landed on the sidewalk below narrowly missing a parole officer and 2 police officers. The man was arrested and charged with attempted murder, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon.

A Houston man went to police after seeing Mel Gibson's controversial film "The Passion of Christ" and confessed to murdering a 19-year-old woman who was pregnant with his child. Police had thought the woman had hanged herself, but the man went to the police on March 9 to admit that he had killed her. The man wanted to seek redemption after talking to a friend and seeing the movie about the last hours of Christ's life. He mentioned to authorities that speaking with the friend and seeing the movie 'The Passion of Christ' made him feel remorse.

An Oklahoma couple were surprised when they woke up and found a drunk burglary suspect asleep in bed with them. The couple from the Oklahoma city of Ardmore called police, ran out of their house and watched officers arrest the man who was still sleeping in their bed despite the sirens and commotion. The police said in the arrest report that the man was so intoxicated that it took them 2 or 3 minutes to arouse the man. The guy must have thought he was Goldilocks and instead of porridge found the bottle of booze that was just right.
