Think your day is going bad? Here's a little perspective to make you feel better.
Ugh
It's hard to say who had the baddest day in this Chicago based story reported by Reuters on Tuesday. Could be the theft victim (who'll never look at jewelry the same way again). Could be the thief (who was caught red handed). Most likely though, it was the cop who had to collect the evidence. That would be because the evidence was a diamond ring that the accused felon swallowed when confronted by the victim's husband. After an X-ray confirmed it's whereabouts, the police patiently waited, then retrieved the ring at the end of it's gastronomical journey, which means of course...well,
......yeah.
Who says cops don't take shit in Chicago?
......yeah.

This past August 5th was not the best day for politically embattled Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. That was the day he was trying to squeeze just a few more drops of public relations love juice out of his state sponsored TV prime time rescue of those lovable Chilean miners that occurred exactly one year ago to the day. The problem occurred at an inauguration event unveiling a museum exhibit that portrayed the harrowing, but happily ended, ordeal. Instead of hugs and kisses and hearts and flowers, the President, and the miners who were at his side, were showered with rotten fruit, rocks, and scorn, followed by a nice semi-riot, all courtesy of anti-government protesters who are seeking economic, educational, and environmental reforms, and who apparently are not willing to spend two months at the bottom of a collapsed copper mine before getting the Presidents attention.
As for the miners, looks like their glory days have pretty much passed, and they're well on their way back to doing what they do best.
...Getting the shaft.

According to the Associate Press, Friday was a bad day in Allentown for one Pennsylvania woman who was convicted of bank robbery while wearing a clown suit. According to witnesses interviewed by Kielbasablog, the woman successfully escaped with over $7000 in bank cash after claiming to have a bomb, but was captured shortly thereafter, when police stopped the bright orange SmartCar she was driving for having a broken tail light. Inside the car, police discovered the cash, an unregistered seltzer bottle, several cream pies, a bicycle horn, and thirty-seven other clowns...all of whom turned states evidence. The forty-one year old felon will now spend anywhere from two to ten years in state prison where, because of state safety regulations, she will no longer be permitted to wear her size 46 purple sneakers. However, using her new court approved stage name "Shanks the Clown", she will be allowed to earn extra income performing at correctional department events, inmate birthday parties, weddings, graduation parties and bar mitzvahs.
