 OH DRIVER, COULD YOU TURN OFF THE MACHINE?

Three men were out for an evening of heavy drinking in Perth, Australia, when one of them passed out on the street. As a joke, the other two tossed him into a trash bin and left.

 ZZZZZ! HUH!? DOING? ME? NOTHING, WHY?

   A man, attempted to steal fuel from a gas station in Muncie, Ind., in the dead of night by siphoning it into a 55-gallon tank he installed in the back of his van. It takes a long time to extract all that gas, so while his battery-operated pump did its work, he went to sleep. He was still sleeping when the gas station employees showed up for work the next morning.

 GEE, WHY IS EVERYONE SO MAD AT US  

   Two members of the staff at a nursing home in Frankfort, Ky., playing a prank on the staff of the next shift, gave laxatives to the elderly patients. Both have been fired. 

 THE DUMBING DOWN OF DRIVER'S ED

    A man tried to carjack a Chevy Camaro in a parking lot in Shawnee, Kan., by pulling a shotgun on its owner and taking over behind the wheel. Unfortunately, the would-be carjacker had driven only cars with automatic transmissions, and was unable to operate the Camaro's stick shift. So he commandeered another car.
