Weirde BUT true

- David K. Li, Wires

What a freakin’ moronic thing to say.

Worcester, Mass., Mayor Joseph Petty apologized for calling demonstrat­ors “freakin’ morons” after they barged into a City Council meeting this week to protest President Trump’s immigratio­n policies.

A hot mic caught the Democratic mayor grousing, “Freakin’ morons. Morons, morons, morons.”

Calling all parents. A day-care center near Houston posted a sign for tech-loving parents coming to pick up their kids: “You are picking up your child! GET OFF YOUR PHONE! Your child is happy to see you! Are you happy to see your child?”

“There are a few [parents] that have said, ‘I need to work on this,’ which I think is pretty cool,” said parent Juliana Mazurkewic­z.

It’s more like a mystery in a bottle.

Vince Stango last week found a message in a bottle at a Harvey Cedars, NJ, beach. The note inside read, “Found the bottle? Read this note? I’m Stuart, if you wish, call or mail me. Speak or mail soon. England Stuart.”

Stango called two UK numbers listed in the message and sent an e-mail, but so far hasn’t been able to get in touch with Stuart.

The sun didn’t shine on this crime.

A Canadian who stole 22 pieces of gold by hiding them in his rectum was sentenced to 30 months behind bars.

Former Royal Canadian Mint employee Leston Lawrence, 35, was convicted of selling the gold for $127,000.

He made him an offer he should have refused.

Archbishop Michele Pennisi of Sicily is fuming that a priest in Corleone allowed Giuseppe Salvatore “Salvo” Riina — son of legendary mob boss Salvatore “Toto” Riina — to act as godfather during a baptism.

Salvo has done time for mob-related crimes.

“I am not aware that the young man has ever expressed words of repentance for his conduct,” Pennisi griped.
