Seller says: “This is an original outdoor toilet. An old church was being remodeled and this was the original toilet that the church members used years ago.

A Florida gas station owner told police he was pummeled by a man who came out of the restroom and shouted, "You don't have any toilet paper." The 57-year-old owner of the B-P station told police that when the man walked in he headed "straight into the bathroom." Minutes later, the man walked out and started verbally assaulting him. The restroom-goer began knocking over displays and shouted, "You don't have any toilet paper." The owner told the man to leave, but he began hitting the owner "with his fist and whatever else the suspect could grab." The station owner said he was calling the police after the man let go of his shirt. The assailant then ran out of the store.
Police in Godfrey, Illinois, have arrested a man for setting another man’s pants on fire. Joseph Hornsey is free on a $20,000 bond. Police said the victim was treated for second- and third-degree burns on his leg Sunday morning after he was awakened in the middle of the night with his pants on fire. The victim had been drinking and camping out in Hornsey’s backyard when Hornsey lit the frayed strings on the man’s britches. The victim managed to put out the fire and went to sleep, only to awaken later with blisters on his leg. What ever happen to the old hand in warm water trick? Or shaving cream in the hand and tickling the nose!

The Box Butte County Attorney’s office gave McCabe the leg back yesterday after a judge ordered it returned.

Alliance, Nebraska, police removed the bullet from the leg before returning it.

The survey also found that over 60% of DVR owners with a partner felt that having a DVR had improved their relationship. More than three-quarters of DVR owners with families also felt that having a DVR has improved family relationships, “eliminating arguments over TV and allowing for the whole family to join the dinner table.”

Pennsylvania State Police used a stun gun to subdue an emu that blocked traffic for about two hours near the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s New Stanton exit. State troopers said the emu had become trapped Monday between 5-foot-high traffic barriers.

Americans don’t have as much love for the open road as they did a year ago. Demand for gas by the world’s largest oil consumer dropped 3.9% this summer driving season compared to a year ago, according to a report from MasterCard Advisors.

A scientist at the University of Tokyo has discovered that elephants not only have a good memory – they also are proficient at basic math. An elephant at the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo managed to get its calculations correct 87% of the time during an experiment. Behavioral ecologist Naoko Irie subjected elephants to fruit-based arithmetic tests as part of a doctoral thesis. One of her tests involved counting apples in buckets. An elephant watched while three apples were dropped into one bucket and five were dropped into another right next to it. Two apples were then added to each bucket, leaving the first bucket with five apples and the second with seven. Irie says a 30-year-old elephant named Ashiya was able to select the bucket with seven apples after apparently counting the apples as they were being placed into each of the buckets.

Phil wrote his current single, "I Would," when he was in a hotel room in Las Vegas. Since he didn't have a tape recorder with him, he called home and sung it into his answering machine.
