Sounds like this nut job is related to the mentally deficient idiot in Co.! PULEEEEEZE make sure he doesn't get near any weapons! And I don't mean just guns..... knives, rocks, Molotov cocktails, garotes,cars,bow and arrows,etc. ANYTHING can be a weapon if a person is intent on doing harm.

I never made it to a second round of a spelling bee. Thankfully I was blessed with stunning good looks to make up for this handicap.

Since the police log is quite, here some puns that I hope will get your day off to a nauseating start…

I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid. He says he can stop any time.

I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.

I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I can't put it down.

They told me I had type A blood, but it was a Type-O.

PMS jokes aren't funny, period.

I tried to catch some fog. I mist.

I dropped out of communism class because of lousy Marx.

All the toilets in New York's police stations have been stolen. Police have nothing to go on.

Cartoonist found dead in home. Details are sketchy.

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

Have a great day everyone!
