Its always frightening to find a burglar in your house, let alone to see him wearing your wife’s cloths and covered in BBQ sauce!

A couple in Appleton woke up in the middle of the night after hearing someone whistling in their basement. When the husband confronted the burglar (with an unloaded weapon) he discovered that the culprit was wearing the wife’s jacket and his hat and he was covered in BBQ sauce that he found in the couple’s fridge. He told the police that the BBQ sauce was part of his camouflage, and that he went in to the couple’s home because “he was in the military and that someone had tipped off the FBI that (he) was providing secrets to the terrorists.”

The police arrested Mr. Aaron M. Maurice, aged 35, and he was later charged with burglary and fined $1,000 cash bond.

$100,000 Check: A Random Act of Kindness

February 7, 2008 · Filed Under Living, News · Comment 

Some times you can get really lucky and get a lot of money in your hands and this may not come in the form of winning the lottery or getting a big bonus at your work. A couple from Des Moines, Iowa, just got a blank check from a man who told them to fill in “for any amount they wanted” and he said that this is “a random act of kindness”.

I am still waiting for some kind person to give me a blank check. What do you do in this case? Do you get greedy and fill in the check for few millions or play it safe and write an amount for a few thousand dollars?

By the way, is it tax free or what?
