I worked with an individual who plugged his power strip back into itself and for the life of him could not understand why his system would not turn on.

Drug-possession defendant Christopher Johns, on trial in

March in Pontiac, Michigan, said he had been searched

without a warrant. The prosecutor said the officer

didn’t need a warrant because a “bulge” in Christopher’s

jacket could have been a gun. Nonsense, said Christopher,

who happened to be wearing the same jacket that day in

court. He handed it over so the judge could see it.

The judge discovered a packet of cocaine in the pocket

and laughed so hard he required a five-minute recess to

compose himself.

The Belgium news agency Belga reported in November that

a man suspected of robbing a jewelry store in Liege said

he couldn’t have done it because he was busy breaking into

a school at the same time. Police then arrested him for

breaking into the school.
