Weird BUT true

-

The proof is in the pudding — or, in this case, the yogurt shop.

A worker at a TCBY frozen yogurt in North Carolina opened three boxes sent to the store and found $222,000 in marijuana inside.

The boxes were accidental­ly delivered to the softserve hotspot instead of a PO Box next door.

That’s one way to prep for a drunken crash.

An Indian man got so hammered, he accidental­ly drove an ambulance home instead of his Audi.

The unidentifi­ed boozehound slipped into the vehicle at a hospital and drove it eight miles to his pad in the southern Indian city of Palavakkam, where he realized his mistake.

He later returned the ambulance with his apologies.

Virginia jurors felt so bad for convicting a pregnant 19year-old maid of theft, they paid her fine themselves.

The kind-hearted jury in Fairfax City found Sandra Ortega guilty of swiping — then later returning — three rings valued at $5,000 from a house she had been cleaning.

They slapped her with a fine of $60 — then pooled donations together to pay it.

An eccentric New York City man, Robert Lane, named his first son Winner and his second son Loser — but they switched roles.

Roughly 50 years later, Loser has gone to prep school on a scholarshi­p, graduated from Lafayette College in Pennsylvan­ia and joined the NYPD.

Winner, however, has a lengthy criminal history, including arrests for burglary, domestic violence, trespassin­g, and resisting arrest.

The word “whatever” annoys American adults more than any other phrase, according to a new survey.

More than one-third of 1,074 respondent­s said the term irks them the most, the Marist College survey found.

The phrases “fake news” and “no offense, but” came in second and third.

We think misuse of “literally” is worse — but whatever.
