News I Missed

Spent Sunday morning catching up on the news stories that failed to reach Bogsville last week.

Stowaway's Leg & Torso Fall From Plane.

A severed human leg and a torso, fell from an airplane on Tuesday morning and crashed onto a garage roof before ending up in the back yard of a Long Island home.

Home owner Pam Hearne, said she heard "a loud crash" a little before 7 a.m. as the leg slammed into the roof of her garage, then fell to the ground. "I noticed something that looked like a human or animal part. My first reaction was maybe it was a horse’s leg but there was a sneaker on it."

The plane, a South African Airways Airbus 340, had taken off from Johannesburg and made one stop in Dakar, Senegal.

Other body parts were found in the plane's wheelwell after it landed at JFK.

Pam Hearne's comment "I am very glad I live where I do, so I don't have to run for my life like this man probably was doing," contrasted sharply with the report posted by some insensitive shite under the heading, "It's Raining Men."

Next time you decide to take a day off work.

Next time you decide to take a day off work remember Thomas L. Stefanelli, 37, from Tampa. His dedication to Hungry Howie's Pizza kept him delivering pies even after he sustained a bullet wound to his left leg in a struggle with an armed robber.

When Thomas L. finally noticed the wound, his cell phone wasn't working. He drove to his next delivery address, dropped off the pizza and called his boss to ask him to call the police.

He went on to make three more deliveries. "It bled a little bit, not much," he said.

The story elicited this response from one hygiene minded guy. "Granted, the pizzas were in boxes. The pies probably weren’t affected. But there’s a principle involved here. Basic cleanliness and safety ought to rule the day."

There's another principle that ought to rule the day. You ought to be able to go about your day's work without getting shot in the damn leg.
