The Farcial Files

On a golf course near Kent, England, some teenagers ran onto the course with wooden planks, demanding from a group of golfers their golfing equipment. The golfers got their clubs out and beat up the teens. The teens got arrested. So did the golfers. Seems the golfers caused the teens 'bodily harm', a criminal offense.

In Austin, Texas, if you are selling a house more than ten years old, you have to pay for an energy audit. It costs $300 -$400, and must be shown to prospective buyers.

Shades of Orwell. Kids as young as seven years old are being used by the government to report people in their neighborhood that don't recycle or put their rubbish out on the wrong day. Coming to an American city near you, I'm sure.

A woman in Montreal wouldn't use the handrails on an escalator because they were filthy. She was arrested and fined $420.

Kansas City Police and medical examiners pronounced a man died of natural causes. The funeral home found three bullet wounds, two in the head.

A kid in a high school in Weber, UT wore a kilt to school as part of a project. The principal told him to change his clothes because some people might think he was cross dressing.

A man in Oklahoma was stopped by the cops because he had a bumper sticker, "Abort Obama, Not the Unborn. It could be view as a threat to the president, so the Secret Service was called in, the man interrogated for thirty minutes, and his house searched.
