WHOOO! Man, what a rush! Say, where am I?

- Mike PINGREE

A man got high smoking a mixture of meth and crystalize­d bug spray, and then charged naked into a home in Nashville, Tenn., where a family was sitting down to dinner. He complained that the dog was looking at him, ran upstairs and jumped out the window. He then leapt onto a gazebo in the back yard, and took off running across a field, where the cops caught up with him. He told deputies at the jail that he couldn't remember any of the stuff he did.

ON SECOND THOUGHT, MAYBE I’LL JUST LEAVE ... When a female friend was arrested on traffic charges, an irate 19-yearold man barged into the police station in Allendale, N.J., on her behalf, “demanding to know what was going on.” Police soon discovered the lad was wanted for drug possession, and he was immediatel­y arrested.

A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER ... A 17-year-old boy asked a man at a gas station in St. Paul, Minn., to buy him cigarettes on Christmas Day. The man refused, so the kid stole his Lexus and sped away, ultimately crashing it into a pickup truck.

HOME, AND STEP ON IT! ... A drug dealer was nabbed in Copenhagen, Denmark, with 1,000 marijuana cigarettes after he got into a police car thinking it was a taxi.

AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A BUSINESSMA­N! ... A man filed charges against a constructi­on contractor after he took his money and then vanished without doing the remodeling work on the man's Fairfax County, Va., home. In response, the contractor hired a hitman in a failed attempt to kill the homeowner.

LET’S JUST KEEP THIS BETWEEN US ... A parolee tried to sell heroin to other ex-convicts while waiting in the lobby of a probation office in Danielson, Conn.

HEY, THIS LOOKS LIKE A SAFE PLACE ... Two men who drove past the Do Not Enter signs in the police parking lot in Glendale, Wis., parked in the chief's space, where they proceeded to do heroin and smoke pot. This one ended pretty much as you would expect.

CAN’T I JUST PUT HIM IN THE OVERHEAD COMPARTMEN­T? ... A man tried to board a plane at the Las Vegas airport with a dead cougar in his luggage. Turns out, the man is a hunter, and apparently it isn't illegal to transport game on flights. But the airline made him ship the carcass home anyway.

YOU’LL NEVER GET RID OF ME ... OOPS! ... A man tried to rob a guy at a casino in Baltimore, but the would-be victim rebuffed him, got into his car and drove away. But the robber wouldn't give up, and followed the guy for about 20 miles and into the Annapolis Police station parking lot, where cops were waiting for him.
