Weird BUT true

When you live in Las Vegas, it’s good to be a little lucky.

Dave Shaw, 49, had some good fortune when he bought a piece of art at a local garage sale for five bucks. The work turned out to be a Salvador Dali lithograph print worth about $ 1,000.

“It’s not like I haven’t been praying for it,” Shaw said. “I need a miracle every month just to pay the rent.”

These girls made lemonade out of lemons— and cashed in on a Texas-sized loophole.

Zoey and Andria Green, 7 and 8, made national headlines last week when their lemonade stand — set up to make $ 100 for a Father’s Day gift — was shut down by Overton, Texas, cops because they didn’t have a permit.

But a state law does allow lemonade to be given away for free— with a donation.

So when they reopened the shop, people from all over came for a free drink, leading to $ 600 in “donations.”

Preserving Mother Nature doesn’t come cheap!

The city of Apopka, Fla., will have to shell out $ 100,000 to have several dozen endangered gopher tortoises safely relocated in order to build a water reclamation pond.

“It’s a fact of life,” Mayor Joe Kilsheimer said.

Some hungry burglars must have broken into Honeypie Bakery in Alabama’s Madison County.

Aside from a laptop, only food and spices were stolen.

“Someone has enough butt rub and flavored salt to smoke, maybe, 50 pounds of pork,” owner Mary Ann Locke noted. “There’s an illicit barbecue going on somewhere, and it’s delicious.”

Amotorist in New Zealand thought hewas so clever, giving a fake name to police who pulled him over.

But it turned out that the phony name matched the ID of a wanted bail jumper, leading to him being locked up overnight.

When the man was brought to court, jail officials finally confirmed he wasn’t the bail jumper, and the motorist was charged with lying to police.
