A Beef Brisket? Seriously?

Just to illustrate what is considered "news" in our new home, this is a blurg from Gillette's local newspaper. I am sad to say that it really doesn't surprise me.


"A 48-year-old man made a disastrous attempt at stealing a meal from Wal-Mart at 4:41 p.m. Saturday. He first caught a Wal-Mart employee’s attention by sticking a beef brisket, valued at $27.04, into his pants. Caught red-handed, the man ran out of the store, with the employee giving chase. Some customers helped the employee take down the criminal behind the store, where the smell of alcohol on his breath became apparent. Deaton said that the man was charged with larceny and public intoxication."

I'm sure there are some great jokes I should insert here. That sounds hilarious! How in the world do you sneak a few pounds of brisket out in your pants? "Hmm...that person seems to have a rather large, and asymmetrical derriere..." And, what a good thing that's the news. Imagine what it would be in downtown big-city-land!

True, Amanda, and yet it would be nice if all the stories in the news didn't revolve around drunken and disorderly conduct!
