A man from New Delhi, India arrived at San Francisco International Airport where he showed custom officials a rug made from a full grown tiger pelt with the head of the animal still attached and properly taxidermed. The man failed to realize that such items are considered illegal in the United States as the tiger is an endangered species. Custom officials seized the pelt and upon closer examination discovered two kilos of heroin within the skull of the animal. The man was promptly arrested.
In the US a woman was driving along, quite the thing.
There were two things she failed to realise. The first that it was September 19th (luckily this has nothing to do with the tale at hand though...) and the second being that she was being followed by a police car.
"I saw her veer straight into the parked cars." Officer Brady explained, "Then at the last second, she veered back off onto the road."
The alert young police officer continued following the lady. It may have been a case of her nodding off, but he wanted to make sure it wouldn't happen again.
"When she nearly veered off the road a second time, I proceeded to pull her over." Officer Brady continued.
Officer Brady strolled up to the lady and asked her what she thought she was doing: "Hey Lady, what the hell do you think you're doing?"
The lady explained to the young officer that she was seeing impaired: "Officer...if I don't have a car up close, I can't see the road, you know? So I need a car in front of me to keep on track. You know?"
Officer Brady asked her for her driving license.
"Officer, they don't give driving licenses to the seeing impaired." The lady answered quite honestly.
- absolutely true! I saw it on TV -

Lev buys a new car , but something's wrong with it . He hasn't got time to mess with the dealership so just parks it and rents a car . Doesn't get the full damage waiver . Yep , he rear ends a lady (about 15 mph). A lady who's an auto insurance adjuster . She says the cars should not / will not be moved out of traffic until a police report has been filed , even though it's rush hour on a 4 lane arterial and the accident is screwing everything up . Figuring he's in enough trouble , Lev doesn't argue too much . They talk about it for a few minutes . The lady who is just fine , says she needs to make a phone call at the near by fast food restuarant . 2 or 3 minutes later an ambulance whips up to the burger joint . They begin 'treating' the woman who is now laying on the floor of the place . They're putting a neck brace on her and getting out the back board . The cops are getting there about the same time . They just begin the preliminaries and of course they tell everyone to get the cars the hell out of traffic . Lev moves his to the burger place's parking lot . A different cop comes up and tells him to move the other car . Lev says it's not his , it's that lady's they're loading up into the ambulance . The cop asks her if he can have her keys and move her car , she hesitates , she says yes , tells him they're in her purse on the floor of the car . The cop goes into her car fishing for the keys in the purse , calls another cop over , and they begin laughing and one of them exclaims"stupid b*tch !" - As he holds up a baggie with a pound of maryjane in it . They found A LOT more in the trunk , and a whole mess of coke in the glove box .
Lev never heard anything from her insurance co , or the rental car company .

Anyways, when I tried to catch the plane back to the U.S. the guard stopped me and took my brief case away from me which held my chess set. Then, one by one, he pulled the felt off the bottom of each chess piece and smelled them! I almost missed the plane because of the search. 🙁
