Weird BUT true

Note to parents: Don’t teach your toddler how to use a paper shredder.

Ben and Jackee Belnap, of Salt Lake City, left an envelope carrying $1,060 in cash out on a counter.

The money was supposed to go toward football season tickets, but the envelope vanished the next day.

The couple immediatel­y identified a suspect — their 2-year-old son, Leo.

Jackee, it seems, had taught the boy how to help her shred junk mail, and he had put the new skill to use.

“This will make a great wedding story someday,’’ she said. It was a real cock-up. British travel company Thomas Cook had “I Cook’s Club” printed on the side of its planes.

It apparently didn’t notice that when the rebranded planes’ emergency doors are opened, it blocks half of the second “O’’ in “Cook’s.”

That makes it read, “I Cock’s Club.”

A drunken passenger was thrown off an IndiGo plane at Mumbai’s airport after he tried to enter the cockpit while the aircraft was still on the ground.

His reason — he wanted to charge his cellphone.

It wasn’t enough that a British bride invited guests to a two-week-long wedding in another country.

She also insisted they stay at an expensive hotel she designated — and grew angry at one couple who found cheaper rooms.

That’s because the bride was told that the hotel was offering gifts depending on the number of guests booking rooms there.

Who would have guessed? There’s a worldwide shortage of penguins.

A zoo in Shropshire, England, built an exhibit to house a batch of penguins.

But after months of preparatio­n, Telford Exotic Zoo was told an avian-malaria outbreak was preventing the Humbolt penguins from making the trip to England.

So it bought six plastic penguins to use until the real ones arrive.
