I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at
the
poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset
because
she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured
her
that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring
her
daughter into the hospital.
She calmed down, and at the end of the conversation happened to
mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order
to
kill the
ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter in to the ER
right
away.

Seems that a year ago, some Boeing employees on the field decided
to
steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in
getting it out of the plant and home. When they took it for a
float
on the Stilliguamish River, they were quite surprised by a Coast
Guard
helicopter homing in on the emergency locator that is activated
when
the raft is inflated. They are no longer employed there.

I worked for a while at a Wal-Mart store, selling sporting goods.
As
an employee of Wal-Mart you are sometimes required to make
store-wide
pages, e.g.,"A customer in hardware needs assistance at the paint
counter."
One night a tentative female voice came over the intercom system
with
the (I kid you not) following message: "I have a customer by the
balls in toys who needs assistance."

A police officer had a perfect hiding place for watching for
speeders,
but one day, everyone was under the speed limit, the officer found
the
problem: a 10-year-old boy was standing on the side of the road
with a
huge hand painted sign which said "RADAR TRAP AHEAD."
A little more investigative work led the officer to the boy's
accomplice, another boy about 100 yards beyond the radar trap with
a
sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket at his feet, full of change.
