Round One
Boner Candidate #1: YOU IMMEDIATELY WONDERED WHAT HE WAS USING FOR A POLE, DIDN’T YOU?
Boner Candidate #2: HE DOESN’T COUNT?
Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Travis Smaka was on Interstate 15 on Monday when he noticed someone driving solo in the HOV lane. Take note: Transporting a corpse doesn’t qualify you for the carpool lane. He stopped the car — a Chrysler minivan — and was caught off-guard by what the driver said. “The driver informed me that he had someone who was deceased in the back of the vehicle,” Smaka said. The trooper peered inside, and sure enough, it was equipped like a hearse, with a rail and a gurney holding a deceased person. The driver asked, “So, he doesn’t count in the back?” Smaka said he got a good chuckle out of it but informed the driver that, no, deceased people do not count. He let the driver off with a warning.
Boner Candidate #3: FIREWORKS ARE FUN!
Round Two
Boner Candidate #1: BLUE BELL LICKER.
Another person was caught on camera licking ice cream in a store, police say. Police are looking for a woman who licked a half-gallon of Blue Bell ice cream and put it back on the shelf in a Walmart store in Lufkin, Texas. Louisiana police say a 36-year-old man was inspired by a viral video of a teenager licking a tub of Blue Bell Ice Cream to seek his own 15 minutes of fame. Assumption Parish Sheriff’s deputies arrested Lenise Martin III on Saturday after receiving a tip from a grocery store in Belle Rose, Commander Lonny Cavalier told CNN. Someone recorded Martin pulling a carton of Blue Bell Ice Cream from a freezer, opening it, licking the frozen dessert and poking it with his finger before putting it back on the shelf, Cavalier said. Detectives found evidence that Martin posted the video on Facebook, suggesting that he was seeking attention for the alleged misdeed, Cavalier said. Martin is being held on charges of unlawful posting of criminal activity for notoriety and publicity and criminal mischief for allegedly tampering with property — in this case, the ice cream, Cavalier said.
Boner Candidate #2: I DON’T FEEL SAFE AROUND THE COPS.
Boner Candidate #3: NOW PEOPLE ARE JUST GRAZING AT WALMART.
Wichita Falls police banned a woman from Walmart after she reportedly ate half of a cake and refused to pay for the uneaten half, according to the Wichita Falls Times Record News. Police responded to a theft call June 25 at the Walmart; they were told a woman entered the store, ate half of a cake and refused to pay for the other half when asked. According to the Times Record News, the woman was banned from the store by police for the theft. This is not the first time a Wichita Falls Walmart has been forced to ban a customer this year. In January, a woman was banned from a Wichita Falls Walmart for reportedly drinking wine out of a Pringles can while riding around on an electric shopping cart.
