Weird BUT true

A Florida man whose house key is shaped like a gun was almost kept off a Carnival cruise because the company bans even replica weapons.

Henry Echevarria, who works in law enforcement, eventually agreed with cruise staffers to keep the key in a safe during the trip.

“It was comical because it’s like, really, what am I going to do with that? You know they give you steak knives on the cruise,” he told a TV news program.

Trying to drink his troubles away landed a Connecticut man in the clink.

Joseph Sandman, out on bond and facing serious sexual-assault charges, stopped to buy a six-pack in December because he was anxious about his case, according to his lawyer.

But the move was the 18th time Sandman allegedly violated the terms of his release, leading to his arrest. He lost his marbles. A trucker found himself with a huge mess in suburban Indianapolis after the trailer on his big rig disconnected and overturned, spilling 38,000 pounds of the small spherical toys onto the side of the road.

No one was hurt.

It took 35 years for a Navy officer to find his own message in a bottle.

Ron Herbst was a 19-yearold petty officer on the USS Coral Sea when he tossed the bottle with a message including his name and the date into the Atlantic.

A few months later, Gordon and Cindy Brevik found it while on a Florida vacation but simply put it away.

But they recently remembered it and contacted a shocked Herbst. This is one “great” irony. President Trump’s official “Make America Great Again” caps are sold on his campaign Web site and sport a manufacturer label asserting “Made in the USA.”

But knockoff versions hawked in DC Friday for the inauguration were reportedly made in China, Vietnam and Bangladesh.
