- Mike PINGREE

Someone crashed his Ford Super Duty truck through the locked front gate of a small airport in Weatherfor­d, Okla., roared down to the taxiway, hit an embankment and launched into the air for about 50 feet. He then headed back down the taxiway, and crashed through another fence and into an empty field. During the rampage, he lost his headlights and most of the truck’s front end, which he left behind along with five unopened cans of Coors Light and one of Michelob Ultra Cactus Lime.

She said, “No.” The man couldn’t believe this, yelling incredulou­sly, “But I have money!” She was not impressed. WHO? ME? ... A woman fell asleep on a packed commuter train in Japan, ultimately resting her head on the shoulder of a businessma­n seated next to her.

THIS COULD ONLY HAPPEN IN SCANDINAVI­A ...

BUT I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL ... A man invited three young ladies to his hotel room in theFrenchQ­uarterofNe­w Orleans at 3 o’clock in the morning. Once inside they grabbed his cash and a black Ruger 9 mm semiautoma­tic pistol and disappeare­d into the night. I REALLY DO HAVE THINGS TOSAY ... Police said a man got drunk and burned his Perryopoli­s, Pa., mobile home to the ground. The guy said he didn’t do it, but a neighbor said she saw him pouring gas on the place before it burst into flames.

A woman took her 5-year-old son to the movies in Cobb County, Ga., where she proceeded to drink booze from the kid’s sippy cup.
