A NEWS HEADLINE... FROM SOMEWHERE IN THIS WORLD!

Dateline.... ITALY

A guy in Italy walked into a post office armed with a screwdriver and told a cashier to empty her register. The cashier reportedly told the man, “Come on, don’t do it. You’d better give me that.” She told police he then started crying and told her he was behind in alimony payments. A co-worker called police while the cashier was comforting the sobbing suspect, and officers arrived to find the man still crying and telling the cashier and post office customers about his troubles.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Taco Bell fans have launched a massive campaign to “save” one of the chain’s most iconic items. In September, the fast-food franchise announced a series of menu cuts that, depending on your love for pico de gallo, may have been pretty heartbreaking. Pico de gallo aside, the most painful announcement seemed to involve Mexican Pizza. The dish, which is essentially a large, round taco topped with pizza sauce, tomatoes and cheese, will leave the menu in early November. That news didn’t go over well with Taco Bell obsessives, some of whom created a Change.org petition to stop the item’s removal. As of October 13, that petition has more than 100,000 signatures. The campaign calls fast food lovers to “band together, show support, and save the Mexican Pizza.” It’s worth noting, though, that the chain has promised that it’s adding plenty of new menu items to help fill the void — including a $1 Chicken Chipotle Melt.

A Florida man is accused of using a 24-cent packet of Kool-Aid to rack up nearly $1,000 in fraudulent charges at a Walmart in North Naples. 37-year-old Bradley D. Young, who is also a felon out of Ohio, faces grand theft and shoplifting charges. Police were called to the store at around 5:45 p.m. Sunday on reports of a theft in progress. Police said that a store loss prevention officer watched him scan merchandise with a Kool-Aid packet concealed in his hand so the items rang up as 24-cents each. Young is accused of ringing up three packets and some other small items totaling $24.44 for $994.13 worth of merchandise. The worker told police she recognized Young from a prior incident at the store. He is accused of walking out of the store with a shopping cart of unpaid items, including a scooter valued at $248, a dual navigation system valued at $119.87 and $160 worth of batteries.
