Some days, Yahoo’s “Odd News” lives up to the name

Just So You Know

Found in my daily mail from The SimplyHeadlines Experiment:

Mich. man in wheelchair takes wild ride

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - A 21-year-old man got the ride of a lifetime when his electric wheelchair became lodged in the grille of a semitrailer and was pushed down a highway for several miles at about 50 mph.

I hope he had a change of diaper with him.

Cops raid wrong place, kick man in groin

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Annapolis police raided the wrong apartment Wednesday night, using flash grenades and kicking a resident in the groin before they realized their mistake, police and the family said.

As everyone knows, a kick in the groin is guaranteed comedy gold, as long as it’s someone else’s groin.

Calif. man charged with killing Wee Wee

Uh…

Never mind.

As Chtulu is my witness, the heading above is copied straight from the SimplyHeadlines email.  Apparently, Yahoo or AP subsequently changed it to read “Man charged with shooting pet goose”.  Which, honestly, doesn’t even qualify as funny enough to excerpt, let alone make fun of, so if you want to read anything about that story, you’ll have to just click the link above.
