Well here we are at the start of yet another week – already half way through April!
Can you believe it?
Anyway we had another oddball story to report today from the US as well as news of a line of underwear partially made using material used to make chemical warfare suits.
There’s a novelty for you!
But first it was off for a quick trip over to the land of the free and the land of the brave, where police in PORT ORCHARD in the state of Washington, arrested a weeping man in woods after he broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home and snatched her favourite pet chicken, named Polly!
The female victim called police after he broke into her home grabbed he chicken and started screaming, “I’ve got Polly, I’ve got Polly” before running away chicken in hand into nearby woods.
Following a brief but intense search, police located and approached the man at gunpoint as he shouted, “Don’t hurt my chicken!”
He calmed down once a deputy quickly reassured him, that no harm would come to the bird.
He was then allowed to place Polly safely in a patrol vehicle, before being taken into custody and charged with residential burglary and violating a protection order.
Incredibly it subsequently emerged that the man had only been released from custody less than three hours before the incident and for his trouble now faces the prospect of up to 10 years in jail, a fine of $12,747.20 for burglary, plus a further year’s incarceration and a further $3186.80 in fines for violating a court order.
Polly has now been returned home to safely re-occupy her run.
We returned home back to the safety of the UK to hear more about the exotic new range of underwear made in part with material used in chemical warfare suits.
Sounds incredibly exciting, however if you are unfortunate enough to share a bed with someone who has a habit of breaking wind, this could be the answer you’re looking for.
A range of special underwear called SHREDDIES – not the breakfast cereal – contains ZORFLEX which is used in chemical warfare suits so there should be no surprise that they can filter out odours 200 times the average human emission.
As an extra bonus the material is apparently reactivated every time the pants are washed.
Well that’s a relief!
The manufacturer states that the product is very much a healthcare product aimed at sufferers of conditions like IBS, Crohn’s disease, food intolerances and, of course, flatulence.
The bottom line is that they are for everyone!
So there you have it.
I’m not here tomorrow as it’s my wife’s birthday and as I really want to live a little while longer, I thought it best to take the day off and give her a bit of an airing, so I hope to have the pleasure of your company again on Wednesday instead,
Scott
