    She must have been really hot!

    She must have been a real looker if he was prepared to "do bird" for a chance to "do" the bird...

    Either that or he had already spent the proceeds of the crime on drink (hence the icon)

    Is it me?

    Or does that robber in the Hostage Love Story not have a magazine in his gun?

    Out of those I think number 17 has to be my favourite! :

    17) Ferocious attack kitten

    "This destructive kitty has been trained as a proud warrior and will fiercely defend your house, even against you. Has a very soft and furry belly, like a teddy bear - however he will bite your face if you try to touch it. For the love of God, someone please take this thing out of my house."

    Number 5 was just a frightening reminder of some of the odder perversions out there.

    Dateless?

    "...finds himself languishing dateless in Franklin County jail..."

    Well - I bet he has a forthcoming date with a judge!

    ...and he will probably get some dates when he gets to the penitentiary.

    Here he is on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/woozy2

    WTF?

    languishing dateless in jail?

    Not for long, surely. Why do you think they call it "the pokey".

    ROFL there is more to that posting as well, damn near choked when I read the rest:

    From #11

    "Oh, and I can give you back your purse. Your credit cards are still there but I spent the cash (sorry). And my room mate took your tampons. I don't know what he does with them but he always takes the tampons. If it works out between us I'll totally buy you some new ones ;-)"

    Gotta love people.

    Only last week we heard...

    ...that looking at an attractive woman reduces the intelligence of men.

    So, he saw her when robbing her and thought "I'll just nip back later to see if she fancies me!".

    Love, She's Wonderful

    When my older brother was a teenager he climbed 3 stories of icy drain pipe in a freezing rain (in the dark of night) to get into his girlfriend's room. And he knew the girlfriend's short-tempered and prone to violence father owned several guns. Fortunately, the young lady's mother caught them, and she just made my brother leave the way he came. Love, she's wonderful.

    Move from OH to SC

    If this crime was committed in South Carolina, Gov. Mark Sanford surely would have pardoned him for "following his heart" as long as Stephfon says "it began very innocently as I suspect these things do".

    "not exactly sure what he was thinking at the time."

    surely meant "We are not exactly sure IF he was thinking at the time."

    Stupid...

    This is really not very bright... Even less so when the victims were described as a "couple"...

    He really does have his animal magnetism overrated!

    As the country song goes...

    ..."I know what I was feelin'... but WHAT was I thinkin'?..."

    Odd, they do stick in a few fun/interesting country songs amongst the truck left me/wife broke down stories. The other one I've heard (in my travels in the southern US, natch) has a refrain that includes, "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was", which I think is pretty clever.
