THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,

I just got a Christmas gift from a neighbor. We have lived next door for several years and we have ever given one another a gift. I felt really stupid when she dropped it off. I didn't have anything to give her in return, and I don't think she expected anything. Should I get her something or would that seem weird, since I never have in the past. My husband says that would look even worse, since it would be pretty obvious that it was just because she brought me a gift. I've gone over this a dozen different times... I decided to ask you and Heidi to see what you think!

Signed – Return The Favor Or Not

Police in Florida tased a man after he crawled up into the ceiling space of a Walmart and refused to come down. Pasco Sheriff's deputies said they were called to a store on November 19th after the suspect, who may have been facing mental health issues or “under the influence of an unknown substance,” climbed into the ceiling. Police said in a statement that the Walmart was temporarily evacuated while deputies worked with the man to try and persuade him to come out of the crawl space. “This is the type of thing where you never know what you're going to get in a day our deputies never know what they're going to face," spokesperson Amanda Hunter of the Pasco County Sheriff's Office told Fox News. After the suspect continued to ignore the officers and refused to come down, Tasers were deployed and he was detained. The suspect, who has not been identified, was then sent to a nearby hospital for evaluation. Officers want to determine if the man was suffering from any mental illness or was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. (https://bit.ly/37rbUuR)

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

A Christmas prank was taken to extremes when an English man got a little bit carried away with a roll of wrapping paper. Nichola Mullen-King from Newcastle got a shock when she returned home on Monday and walked into the kitchen. That's because her husband Carl had covered the entire room in Christmas wrapping paper - including the fruit, chopping board, and utensils. The amusing act took him around two hours to complete and it's fair to say Nichola wasn't all that impressed with his work. Sharing snaps of her “new” kitchen on Facebook , she wrote: "My a-----e of a husband came up with the bright idea to wrap part of the kitchen for elf on the shelf…Two hours later and a divorce on the cards, it’s done including the fruit, eggs, utensils and chopping board. Idiot even plugged the air freshener back in.” Her post quickly went viral, garnering over 28,000 likes and more than 44,000 shares. A whopping 47,000 people have also commented on the post so far, with many people branding her husband a “legend.” And, of course, other users slammed the couple for wasting so much paper.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by SingleStudentLoan.com

The defense attorney for an Anchorage dentist who was captured on video pulling a patient’s tooth while riding a hoverboard apologized Wednesday during trial for his client’s “idiotic” behavior. “I want you to know that as his lawyer, I apologize for what he did on that hoverboard,” said defense attorney Paul Stockler. “It’s unacceptable and you can be assured that when I agreed to represent him, I got in his face and told him what I thought about him for doing this, which I think needed to be done.” Seth Lookhart’s bench trial began Nov. 12th. He’s facing forty-two charges, including allegations that he unnecessarily sedated Medicaid patients in order to maximize Medicaid payments and rode a hoverboard while extracting a tooth from patient Veronica Wilhelm while she was sedated. According to charges, Lookhart “scheduled procedures that could have been completed in a single day over the course of multiple visits so they could bill for additional IV sedation procedures.” Lookhart is also facing several civil lawsuits.
