TODAY WE BESTOW FOUR BONEHEAD AWARDS
Ten Bucks Says The Police Officer Never Filed A Complaint

Bonehead award one goes to a rowdy group of women at a women-only party in Israel who began to strip and fondle a police officer who had came in response to neighbor’s complaints about the noise believing him to be the stripper they had ordered who was to come dressed as a police officer.

The officer was unsuccessful convincing the women that he was the real deal [but how hard did he try?] until his partner, the party pooper, arrived.

The Early Bird Catches The Dummy

Bonehead award two, a “too dumb to be a criminal” bonehead award, goes to a Salt Lake City, Utah, wanna-be bank robber who arrived at Zions Bank before it opened and so waited patiently at the bank door, dressed in full robbery gear (face mask over a hooded sweater), for the bank to open, police said.

Bonehead award three, another “too dumb to be a criminal” bonehead award, goes to a Knoxville, Tennessee bank robber who got lost trying to drive away from the bank and inadvertently found himself 45 minutes later in the bank’s back parking lot, police said.

WEIRD EXTRAS
Russian Space Officials Take A Shotgun Approach To Safety

Because of an apparent tendency for Russian spacecraft to return to earth, sometimes 2,000 miles from the targeted landing site, and most recently 300 miles off course, all Russian spacecraft since 1965 are equipped with sawed-off shotguns. It’s not to protect them from space aliens but rather to protect them from hungry animals that may threaten the cosmonauts while they wait, maybe days, to be found as happened in 1965 when cosmonauts were threatened by packs of hungry wolves.
