Story from a Kansas State Highway Patrol officer

I made a traffic stop on an elderly lady the other day for speeding on U.S. 166 Eastbound at Mile Marker 73 just East of Sedan, KS.

I asked for her driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance.

The lady took out the required information and handed it to me.

In with the cards I was somewhat surprised (due to her advanced age) to see she had a conceal carry permit. I looked at her and ask if she had a weapon in her possession at this time.

She responded that she indeed had a .45 automatic in her glove box.

Something—body language, or the way she said it—made me want to ask if she had any other firearms. She did admit to also having a 9mm Glock in her center console.

Now I had to ask one more time if that was all. She responded once again that she did have just one more, a .38 special in her purse.

I then asked her what was she so afraid of.

She looked me right in the eye and said, “Not a Goddam thing!”

THE NEWS

Odd news from around the world

Dumb NY crooks; dumber judge: “In a crime taken right from a cop show, Kwame Hamilton, 19, and Antwione Nabnet, 20, both of Jamaica, allegedly stole a cell phone from a victim walking down a Jamaica street and then attempted to sell the phone back to their victim. The only difference was that in the TV show the thief stole a laptop computer. Two days after the robbery, the victim claims he received an e-mail from the address, Kwame_Hamilton@yahoo.com, which said, “I got your phone from a kid in the neighborhood. I paid $30, it is locked and looks like it’s yours. I’ll give it back to you for $30.” The police recovered the phone and arrested Nabnet and Hamilton. They were charged with robbery and criminal possession of stolen property. Then in a decision that defies reason, Queens Criminal Court Judge Gene Lopez released the men on their own recognizance.”

Forget the muscles: It’s a man with ‘golden’ healthy skin that attracts women: “Men with a healthier skin colour are more attractive to women than those with a masculine face, according to new research. The study used photographs of 34 Caucasian and 41 black African men’s faces in controlled conditions to measure the skin colour of their faces. It revealed that women found men more attractive if they had a more ‘golden’ colour skin. Dr Stephen said: ‘The attractive colour in our face is affected by our health – especially by the amount of colourful antioxidant carotenoid pigments we get from fruit and vegetables in our diet. ‘They are thought to be good for our immune and reproductive systems, making us healthy and increasing fertility. ‘The masculinity of the face had no effect on the attractiveness of the face.’”.

Police forces on alert over deadly million-volt ‘Tasers’ disguised as mobile phones: “Police forces across Britain have been warned to beware of a flood of high-powered stun guns disguised as mobile phones which are being smuggled into the country. Operated by pressing a button on the side of the device, the weapons can disable victims with a million-volt charge – many times more powerful than a police Taser. Authorities fear that the stun guns – marketed as personal protection devices – are increasingly becoming the criminals’ weapon of choice, with at least 10,000 estimated to be in circulation on Britain’s streets. They are also becoming a threat to prison guards. A Chinese-made Kelon stun gun – identical to a Sony Ericsson K95 mobile phone – was recently found at Low Newton jail, where the mass murderer Rosemary West is an inmate. Although illegal in Britain, the stun guns can be bought via the internet for as little as £15.”

My 30L boobs won’t stop GROWING’: “Rachel Aldana says breasts are still growing by a size a year and are now 30L. Since 2007, when Rachel Aldana won the title for the biggest breasts in the country, her chest has ballooned from 30J to and even bigger 30L. The 24-year-old, from Brackley, Northamptonshire, said she suffers from terrible back pain but is too apprehensive about having surgery to reduce them. Miss Aldana said her mother had large breasts but had surgery reducing them from 30K to a C. She added: ‘It’s torture having these monsters in front of me – the worst thing is they keep growing.’ Each breast weighs a staggering stone [14lb] and Miss Aldana fears she might not be able to walk or stand if they keep getting bigger. ‘Sometimes I feel like a walking pair of boobs. They are all anyone can see,’ she said. Doctors are baffled by why her chest keeps expanding.”

British bureaucracy at its best: “A motorcyclist who fell off his scooter in the snow says he has been left traumatised after a council gritter drove around him leaving him injured in the road. Father-of-three, George Howie, 32, was on his way home from work when his 100cc scooter skidded, throwing him off his bike. But as he lay on the carriageway, the driver of a gritting lorry carefully drove around him before going on his way. ‘I was shocked to see he was not using his plough or distributing grit but I was even more shocked to realise that he had clearly seen me and yet didn’t show the concern to stop and ask if I was okay. An elderly man had to pull his car over and help Mr Howie, before dragging his damaged scooter to the side of the road. Mr Howie said: ‘I am disgusted at the way a council employee could drive past another human being laid in the middle of the road and not even make an effort to do so much as wind down the window to ask if I was alright.”
