Be polite during bathroom breaks.
The men saw a large snake in the road, and Jared Hemphill, also 18, decided to shoot it with a semiautomatic rifle that belongs to Dustin Downer, 21.
Hemphill heard a noise in the bushes and assumed it was the snake, so he fired the Remington Speedmaster and accidentally struck Rapé in the left thigh, he told investigators.
Guns and stupid, always a great combination.

“Naked Is the Best Disguise” 0
I’m torn.
On the one hand, considering that everyone has at least one naked body, I’m having trouble figuring out what all the fuss is about.

However, some employees and people posting messages online accused factory guards of provoking the trouble by beating up workers at the factory, which employs about 79,000 people and is owned by the world’s largest contract maker of electronic goods.

Zero Tolerance, Zero Sense 4
Officials punished the boy with a four-day suspension and branded him a “weapons offender” for possessing the pen, which emitted a small shock when the cap was pressed.
But it’s okay for a gun nut to pack heat in a bar.

I call shenanigans.
“This law is hurting real people in my district and around the country,” the Bucks County Republican wrote.
A spokesman for SeaWorld, the amusement park’s parent company, confirmed Wednesday that the company was cutting the weekly work limit for part-time employees from 32 to 28 hours.
No, what’s causing the pain here is the refusal of employers to pay a living wage or to provide reasonable benefits.
To paraphrase Daffy Duck, they’re despicable.
