Weird BUT true

A Girl Scout cookie sale in an Oklahoma mall went a little tipsy-turvy.

Jerry Swanson, 45, approached some Ardmore Scouts and proposed a swap: a bottle of vodka for a box of their cookies.

The Scouts said no. And Swanson, who smelled of booze and was unsteady on his feet, was busted for public intoxicati­on, say cops.

The “in” in this drive-in movie theater is for “indoors!”

Nashville developers announced they’re building the “August Moon Drive-In” — under a dome that will serve 1,000 covered moviegoers. The ticket prices are expected to be between $8 and $20 a car.

Publix supermarke­t customers in Florida are asking, where’s the beef ?

Until recently, they automatica­lly got a free slice of the meat they were buying at the deli counter, to ensure that it was as thick or thin as they wanted.

In response to customer gripes, Publix now says any customer who wants a free meat sample can ask for it.

Border-patrol agents in Texas confiscate­d 4,000 pounds of marijuana hidden in a shipment of limes from Mexico.

The pot was in hundreds of small green capsules mixed in with the real limes — that didn’t fool a drugsniffi­ng dog, said cops.

Norm Johnson, who dropped out of San Diego HS back in 1950, was awarded a diploma for a life well led.

He joined the Air Force in 1950, served in Korea, climbed the ranks and served as a bodyguard for Gen. Douglas MacArthur. After Korea, he dabbled in show business, working as a backup dancer in an Elvis Presley movie and driving cars in a James Dean flick.

And despite all those incredible experience­s, a spry Johnson, 83, said: “I was surprised that it [the diploma] actually does matter to me this much. It will legitimize my life.”
