Top 5-Spelling bee judges misspell word
Judges at a California spelling bee mistakenly told a 12-year-old competitor she'd spelled a word wrong, when she'd actually spelled it right. Last Friday, Sierra Shoemaker spelled the word "braille" correctly at the Selma School District Spelling Bee. But the judges told her she was wrong and disqualified because the answer key had the word spelled with just one L. "I didn't want to say anything because when the word master tells you you've got a word wrong you don't really want to argue with him," Shoemaker told broadcaster KMPH. "So, I was shocked. I kind of just said 'What?' I looked around at the audience and half of them were looking at each other murmuring." She was awarded second place, and contest officials called her later to inform her she'd get a second chance and be eligible to compete in the Fresno County Spelling Bee on Thursday.
Top 4-Public employees told to bring own toilet paper
WINDSOR, Mo., March 18 (UPI) -- A Missouri mayor said he was shocked when a speaker at an aldermanic meeting revealed public works employees had been told to bring toilet paper from home. Windsor Mayor Justin Brown said he was shocked when Nancy Dunbar spoke at last week's meeting and suggested a fundraiser to stop the policy of requiring the city's 10 public works employees, who are all male, to bring their own toilet paper to work, KCTV, Kansas City, Mo., reported."I was just really incredulous that this was a topic to be brought up at a City Hall meeting, much less have any truth to it," Brown said. "The No. 1 emotion is embarrassment. We have a lot of good things going on in our little town, and this is the topic." Dunbar said Brown wasn't the only one shocked by the revelation."The mayor was like, 'What are you talking about?' Because the mayor had no idea. The aldermen had no idea. I mean mouths just dropped," Dunbar said.Dunbar said the policy came from an edict handed down by city administrator Sandra Underwood. However, Underwood said the order came from the head of Public Works and she was not involved.Brown said toilet paper is now being provided for the men."We are always looking for ways to save money," Brown said. "I'm just fearful that this finally hit a fever pitch and this is where it got ridiculous."
Bad idea to give toilet message to police
Top 3-Woman arrested for toilet message
A Tennessee woman was arrested for writing an obscene message directed to a police officer on a broken toilet and leaving it in her front yard. Investigators said Patti Cole, 48, of Mount Pleasant was angry at Rob Wagonshutz, a member of the Maury County Drug Task Force, for arresting her daughter March 1 at her home, so she scrawled an obscene message addressed to Wagonshutz on a broken toilet and left it outside her home, The (Columbia) Daily Herald reported Monday. "[Expletive] you, Rob Wagonshutz" the toilet bowl read, with the tank next it bearing the message, "Rob Wagonshutz special place in hell for u and ur boys!"
Wagonshultz, who lives near Cole's home, was alerted to the message and filed a complaint."Since she used the language she did, it took a step beyond freedom of speech and turned it into disorderly conduct because it created a physically offensive condition by an act that serves no legitimate purpose," Wagonshultz said."No parents would want their children to have to read that," he said. "Had she used different language about me, the sheriff's department or the drug task force as a whole, it wouldn't have gotten this far at all."Cole was charged with disorderly conduct. Wagonshultz and his team arrested Cole's daughter, Allison Michelle Powell, 30, at Cole's home March 1. She was allegedly trying to flush drugs down the toilet at the time of her arrest and officers disassembled the commode to retrieve the evidence, Wagonshultz said.
Wow how he can do that..
