In this case, all good things come to those who are late.

Paul Kuharevic, 56, of Muskegon, was coming home from a business trip when his plans changed and he pressed his luck.

It could be a cheap shot. A Chinese tourist in Switzerlan­d reportedly shelled out more than $10,000 for a shot of “authentic” 1878 Macallan Scotch whiskey — which may actually be BS.

Llama on the lam! Cops in Connecticu­t issued a peculiar plea to residents this week after stumbling upon a lost llama in the small town of Granby.

“If you are missing this, please contact the Granby Police,” authoritie­s tweeted Thursday. “No, we are not kidding.”

The creature was eventually reunited with its owner, with cops tweeting: “The llama drama is over.”

Conservato­rs from New Zealand have discovered a “perfectly preserved” fruitcake from 1911 in a remote Antarctic hut.

The decrepit dessert was found on a shelf in a Cape Adare hut and is believed to have been left behind by explorer Robert Falcon.

When children frolicking on a playground in Montana started itching, their parents discovered that the swings and other equipment had been drenched in bear repellent.
