State police said the woman entered the highway from the Exit 9 off-ramp Sunday morning and drove north in the southbound lanes of the bridge. She drove about two miles before she was stopped. She told police she knew she had been driving the wrong way but kept going because she thought there would be a place to make a U-turn.

Burger King: No Shoes Rule Taken Too Far With Baby

AP) Like most restaurants, the Burger King in this St. Louis suburb has a no shoes, no shirt, no service policy. And baby, do they enforce it. Too much so, the company admitted, after apologizing for restaurant workers who asked a mother to leave because her 6-month-old wasn't wearing shoes.

Jennifer Frederich, her mother and Frederich's infant daughter, Kaylin, stopped at the Burger King in Sunset Hills on Sunday. The baby was shoeless _ Frederich figured tiny baby feet were immune from the rule.

But workers told the family to leave because the shoeless baby was violating a health code. In fact, shoelessness is not a health code violation in St. Louis County.

Frederich told KTVI-TV that she and her mother ate hurriedly and left before they could be kicked out. Frederich did not have a listed phone number, and The Associated Press could not reach her for comment.

Burger King released a statement Thursday indicating workers had taken the no shoes, no service policy too far.

Your Tongue Print

There are no two tongue prints that are alike.

The 64 Million Pants

When the local Washington D.C. dry cleaner lost Roy Pearson’s pants, he was not happy. He complained, demanded compensation, and took action. And boy, did he take action. Roy Pearson is suing Custom Cleaners for $65,462,500 for his lost pair of trousers, with a claimed value of $800.

So how did Pearson get to a $65 million lawsuit from an $800 pair of trousers? Washington’s consumer protection law provides for damages of $1,500 per violation per day. Pearson began multiplying: 12 violations over 1,200 days, times three defendants. A pant leg here, a pant leg there, and soon, he’s up to his $65 million lawsuit.

Thief Decides to Take a Nap

A man suspected of burglarizing a home was arrested after police found him asleep in the basement. Iam D. Wright was lying on the floor early Thursday next to a black bag filled with items that belonged to the homeowners, including stereo equipment, a backpack and a wallet, police said.

One of the residents had flagged down nearby officers after discovering a man in their basement.

Wright's eyes were closed and he did not respond to police until he was threatened with a Taser.

He allegedly told police he was drunk and had passed out after a party at the home, but the homeowners said they hadn't hosted a party.

Wright is charged with felony theft and burglary and remains jailed on $2,500 bail.

Police found other items on Wright that didn't belong to the couple, and say he may be responsible for other burglaries and thefts in the area.

The Verdict: Amazingly, the jury awarded Haimes $986,465. The judge disagreed and threw out the verdict.

True Story at a Portchester Car Park

Patrick finished his shopping in the supermarket of his home village of Portchester. He ambled slowly in the noonday sunshine into the car park behind the shopping centre to put his bags in the boot of his car.

As he moved towards his car he observed two youths, dressed in red anoraks and wearing red baseball caps, struggling with the lock of a white Nissan Bluebird car. Patrick watched them for a few moments before speaking', You two seem to be having trouble, he said.

'Oh, it's alright', replied one youth brightly, 'the key sometimes gets stuck in the lock.'

'Perhaps you would like to try my key', suggested Pat helpfully.

'Why on earth would we want to do that?' said the other youth in a sarcastic voice.

'Because it's my car', Pat retorted. True story car thief


What happened next

The youths ran away and Pat telephoned the police. When Pat described the young men the police immediately knew who they were. Ten minutes later the boys were arrested in the local pub some 150 metres away from where the attempted crime had been committed. They were still wearing their brightly coloured anoraks and hats.

Swedish Royalty

Some years ago an American tourist, 'doing' Europe, remarked to a fellow traveller on a ' bus in Stockholm, 'You know, buddy, America is the most democratic country in the world. Ordinary citizens can go to the White House to see the President and discuss things with him' .

The man replied, 'That's nothing. In Sweden, the King and the people travel on the same ' bus' . The American laughed scornfully at this ludicrous claim. It was not until the Swede reached his destination and alighted from the ' bus that another traveller leaned over to enquire, 'Did you enjoy sharing your seat with King Gustav Adolph VI?'

Hospital patient had to ring 911

A Romanian hospital patient had to call the emergency services because nobody heard him crying for help. Stefan Ososchi, 80, who suffers from an incurable disease, said he was lucky to have his mobile phone with him. He had been admitted to the County Hospital in Botosani and put on a drip but the nurses forgot to come back to take out the needle from his vein.

Mr Ososchi said, "I waited for the nurse come and take the needle out. It had been almost an hour and nobody came. I had terrible pains in my arm and I tried to take it off myself but didn't succeed. I began to cry for help. It was in vain so I called 911 and asked for their help."

The head of the County Hospital in Botosani said the two nurses who were in charge of the patient will be disciplined for negligence. Ambulance service spokesman Dorina Andronache said, "I thought it was a stupid joke when I heard that somebody from a hospital was asking for help. But it turned out the patient was indeed in trouble."
