Newville man was driving on I-81 with pants down, police sayBy CHRIS A. COUROGEN, The Patriot-NewsJanuary 22, 2010, 3:01PM
When state police questioned David F. Line about a report from a truck driver who allegedly saw Line driving on Interstate 81 in Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County, with his pants around his ankles and without both hands on the steering wheel, Line had an explanation.
According to court documents, Line, 49, of Doubling Gap Road in Newville, told police he had been eating a cream-filled doughnut and some of the filling had fallen on his pants. He pulled them down so he could clean himself, Line said, according to court documents. The truck driver saw his private parts because he was wearing loose-fitting underwear, Line said, according to court documents.
Nonetheless, state police charged Line with open lewdness and disorderly conduct. Line will receive a summons to appear in court to answer those charges. No hearing date has been set.

Authorities believe Wash. man electrocuted by urinating on downed power line after car crash
By Associated Press
3:53 p.m. EST, March 1, 2010
MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) — Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.
Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel (PIM'-en-tel) said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.
However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.
Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.
Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.

Brisk start to ticket sales for Jones concert
Featured Business » By Mark Anderson, Editor Kiowa County Signal Posted Apr 01, 2010 @ 02:57 PMGreensburg, KS —
Tickets to the May 1 George Jones concert went on sale this morning at local outlets Mackie Shae Boutique, BTI (Greensburg, Pratt, Bucklin) and Boot Hill Casino. Promoter Landon Laughban told The Signal he'd sold more than 100 tickets between 7:30 a.m. and noon Thursday over the phone.
"My phone started ringing this morning at 7:30 and it's been ringing off the hook since," promoter Landon Laughban told the Signal shortly after noon Thursday, five hours after advance ticket sales for the May 1 George Jones concert got underway.
"It's gotten off to an even better start than I expected," Laughban continued. "None of the tickets I've sold yet (over the phone) have even been from Greensburg folks. They've been orders from people in Hays, Garden City, Liberal, Wichita and Kansas City." Laughban, in fact, said a Jones fan from Florida called him shortly after news of the concert went up on Jones' website last month to ask inform him she would fly in to Wichita to attend the event set for four weeks from Saturday.
The concert will be held on the grassy fields of Greensburg’s Municipal Airport on the east edge of town just three days short of the May 4, 2007 tornado that leveled the county seat of formerly 1,400 people. Proceeds of the concert will go to aid the rebuilding of the historic Twilight Theatre, which will serve as a cinema and live performance theatre/auditorium for the new school set to open its doors next August. The theatre is currently at least $1.5 million short of the funds needed for completion.
Gates to the event will open at 5 p.m. on May 1 with three bands—Mike Benish, Retroactive and Jason Savory—set to precede Jones’ scheduled 9 p.m. appearance on stage. Jones is slated for a 75 to 90 minute performance. While Laughban is hesitant to predict how many he expects to show up for the event, he did acknowledge first day sales is a typically good indicator of an event’s popularity. The airport site is expected to handle a maximum of 5,000 fans.
Those unable to pick up tickets at any of the five outlets—Mackie Shae Boutique in Greensburg, Boot Hill Casino in Dodge, BTI in Greensburg, Bucklin and Pratt—can order tickets in advance over the phone at 580 273 8044.

BUT, googling this found a number similar stories across the country, including multiple stories about dogs eating babies' genitalia!!!

not 2 be missedSurgeons extricate hot-sauce bottle from state inmateThursday, April 29, 2010 2:55 AMBy Alan JohnsonTHE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
An inmate in a state prison was hospitalized and needed emergency surgery to remove a hot-sauce bottle he apparently had used as a sex device.
Taxpayers will end up paying the prisoner's medical bills, expected to run into the thousands of dollars.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction won't release the name of the inmate, citing federal regulations regarding the privacy of medical records.
However, a report by the State Highway Patrol, which initially investigated the incident as a rape case, said an inmate at the Noble Correctional Facility in Caldwell was taken to Marietta General Hospital on Sunday evening after saying he had been sexually assaulted in the shower by another prisoner.
The injured inmate later acknowledged that he had not been assaulted, but on his own had inserted the hot-sauce bottle anally, sources said.
"At this point, we don't believe there was a perpetrator involved in the incident," said prisons spokeswoman Julie Walburn.
However, sources said, surgery was required to remove the bottle. The inmate was hospitalized and was treated in the intensive-care unit.
Walburn said the state won't know the total cost until all medical bills are submitted.
State officials frequently point out that the state is required by law to provide medical care for prisoners - even those who harm themselves. The state is self-insured and pays its own bills.

OMG, I wish I lived in Kiowa, Kansas! Here's an update to the George Jones story that I posted 2 weeks ago:
http://www.kiowacountysignal.com/features/x57965003/Gallagher-doing-show-same-night-as-Jones
Greensburg, KS — Acting on a tip from a reader The Signal discovered Wednesday morning the May 1 George Jones concert will have some regional competition. Nationally known pop comedian Gallagher will be performing that same night at 8 p.m. at Dodge City’s Civic Center. Jones is slated to take the stage at 9 p.m. “I didn’t know that,” was Spirit of Greensburg Committee member Steve Kirk’s response when informed of the Gallagher event later Wednesday. “It’s hard to say what effect that will have on our concert here, but you hope it’s minimal.” He also said an attempt had been made to “see if there were any conflicts on that date. Looks like we missed that one.” While advance tickets to the Jones event are $23 and $25 at the gate those to Gallagher are $20.50 in advance for general admission and $30.50 for VIP seating ($5 more for tickets at the door.) Like Jones, Gallagher is still performing past his prime, the 63-year-old’s act reaching its zenith in the 80’s, when he was one of the most popular and recognizable American comedians. He produced at least one special a year from 1981 to 1987, all of which aired on the Showtime cable network. As of last year he’d done 16 television specials in all. Relying heavily on physical prop comedy, Gallagher is best known for his “Sledge-O-Matic” sketch, in which he uses a large wooden mallet to smash a variety of objects including computer keyboards, tubes of toothpaste and watermelons. Audience members in the first several rows often wear raincoats as a precaution against the mess of that particular act, which is a parody of mid 60’s to 70’s television ads for the Ronco Veg-O-Matic kitchen appliance used to slice and dice vegetables.Jones’ ticket sales moderate to date… Jones concert promoter Landon Laughban was asked Wednesday evening by The Signal how advance ticket sales were progressing. “Great, we’re almost to our goal,” Laubhan said. Asked want that goal might be, Laubhan said such information would have to be released by Spirit of Greensburg members. While not citing a specific number Thursday morning following a long meeting the night before between Spirit of Greensburg and Laubhan, committee member and treasurer Steve Kirk told The Signal he estimates sales of 1,250 tickets would allow the event to break even, due to funds proceeding from sponsorships. Asked if that goal had yet been reached, Kirk said “no.” Asked if the total from outlets and phone orders were “within striking distance” Kirk said, “You could say that.”Copyright 2010 Kiowa County Signal.

Heavenly powers that Au Yeung Kwok- fu is said to possess were not enough to prevent him crashing to Earth yesterday after he was jailed for duping a 19-year- old model into having sex with him.She believed that sex sessions were part of a ritual that would improve her luck and career prospects.
But there was no luck for anyone as the self-styled Taoist master, 55, who works as a truck driver when not involved in spiritual matters, was jailed for six years and nine months by District Court Judge Stanley Chan Kwong-chi.
That was after the judge was handed more than 20 mitigation letters - some from celebrities and businessmen - praising Au Yeung for his kindness. Seven of his admirers even said they were impressed by his "super power."
Rejecting such arguments, the judge remarked: "I hope this case will alert those who are very superstitious."
He also hoped people would understand the attitude reflected in a Zen master's saying: "Flowers blossom in spring; the moon shines in autumn; the breeze blows in summer; snow falls in winter. It will be the best season of all times if no trivial matters linger in your mind."
Seeking to ensure that Au Yeung also gets the message, Chan ordered that he receive psychiatric treatment and psychological counseling in prison.
Au Yeung, who bills himself as a Mao Shan master, was found guilty earlier this month of nine counts of having sexual intercourse under false pretences between April and December 2007 with the teen model.
As he passed sentence, the judge slammed Au Yeung for showing no remorse and for abusing the girl's superstitious beliefs to fulfill a personal lust.
"It is not a crime for the female victim to be superstitious or ignorant, but the defendant abused her trust and duped her into having sex with him," he said.
"He is a few decades older than her and she had no affection for him.
"In order to impose a deterrent effect, the court has to heavily punish those who harm ignorant girls and the underprivileged."
The judge also called Au Yeung "shameless" for claiming he had no control of his body when having sex with the girl. That was in response to Au Yeung having testified that his sigung - his master's master - possessed him.
The judge said too that Au Yeung had posed a health risk to the victim as he had assured her he would not make her pregnant, so no precautions were taken. But the girl became pregnant and aborted the fetus on January 21, 2008.
Chan also raised a point made in a report from two psychologists that Au Yeung did not have much self-esteem and liked to control others.
The psychologists said Au Yeung abused trust to satisfy his lust, the judge noted, and there was a moderate to high risk he could repeat the offenses.
Au Yeung's barrister, Christopher Wong, said his client did not agree with the remarks, insisting there will not be any repeat act. Au Yeung just wanted to help the girl, he added.
