A Bad Day

Think your day is going bad?  Here's a little perspective to make you feel better.

"...mooooooooooo"

As if the flies and the tipping and the madness weren't making it's life miserable enough, one day turned out to be an especially bad day for an unlucky bovine in Ogden, Utah recently, when a local meat enthusiast decided to pursue what apparently was one of his life's passions, butchery, right in his own driveway.  According to a report published in The Standard-Examiner of Ogden, UT, local police responding to a concerned neighbor's call arrived at an address just in time to discover the resident ambitiously decapitating a cow as part of his overall plan to reduce the beast to the sum of it's basic edible parts.  Like any good carnivore, when questioned, the resident denied any wrongdoing, ...particularly in regards to illegal gun play, ...claiming that he had not shot the cow (as suggested by the neighbor), but that the cow had been... "delivered dead".

Okay, Sweeney Todd, if you say so. 

And our guess is that it wasn't such a great day to be delivery driver, either.

"Daddy?? Next time...can we just go bowling?"

In California, the Associated Press reports that a 90-minute sea cruise operated by the Fun Zone Boat Company became a tad unpleasant for one misbehaving 7-year old recently, when his exasperated father lost his patience and threw him overboard.  According to a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department, the child, ...again...age 7, "was not an expert swimmer", and required a life ring and rescue by another boater.  According to one understated Fun Zone Boat Company official, "That could have been fatally dangerous".
Orange County deputies arrested the father upon his return to shore.

Fun Zone Boat Company officials are delaying any further comment until results from it's customer satisfaction survey have been completely tabulated.

And then there is this bad business from Jakarta, Indonesia, where man's best friend turned the tables and showed in no uncertain terms that friendship does have it's limits.  According to a story published by Reuters, an Indonesian dog owner wandered out of town for two weeks but forgot to make feeding arrangements for his seven canine cohabitants.  Dismayed by the callous disregard for their nutritional needs, the dogs conveyed their displeasure directly to the man by eating him immediately upon his return.  Neighbors and police, alerted by abandoned porch luggage, eventually discovered the attack. 
No word yet on the disposition of the orphaned dogs.  Speaking to Kielbasablog, one official commented, "Placing them gets kinda tough once people realize they have a history of eating their owners."
