This is the third installment of a StrangeRush mini.

A mini will consist of four semi-strange stories that will be condensed into one post but will be told very briefly, typically one paragraph per story. A mini will be posted roughly 1-2 times a week and the purpose is to tell several strange stories that are interesting but not worthy of their own full post. They will be quick and to the point and typically leave out any mystery as to where they are going.

Just a Little Car Crash-

RACINE, Wisconsin- Car crashes and people getting hurt in them are a common occurrence. Early one morning a driver was traveling at a high rate of speed. He missed his intended turn and ended up turning on another street going the wrong direction. He proceeded to hit two parked cars and flipped his own car, finally crashing it into a third car driving his direction. The driver of the car was drunk…..and so was the driver in the other vehicle. Talk about two needles in a haystack finding each other.

It’s Just a DUI*-

ARVADA, Colorado- Luckily this man didn’t hit any cars or cause any injuries to others while he was under the influence. He was given a DUI by the police in a Denver suburb. The only thing was that he wasn’t driving a car, he was riding a horse. The man was given a $25 traffic violation for riding a horse in a strip mall. He said he was just out for a joyride. I wonder if the thought ever crossed his mind to make a run for it?

Fetch It -

BERLIN, Germany- A man was playing fetch with his dog while the two took a walk. When the pooch returned after one of his jaunts to retrieve the ball his owner noticed it didn’t look like the dog was carrying the ball anymore. Instead he had something round and rusty in his mouth, but it was definitely not the ball. Upon further inspection the owner found that the pooch had a grenade left over from World War II. Evidently, in Germany WWII grenades hanging around are not all that uncommon. Oh boy, how exciting for the kids.

Red Light District-

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma- A man was determined to find a prostitute to take care of his manly desires but this cheapskate didn’t even have any cash to pay for her services. Money or not, this smooth talking John was not going to be refused. He was later found in her car getting what he needed and all he had to pay for her services was a $30 case of chips, and she gladly accepted it. She was fined $1,142 for her indiscretion. Is it considered bribery if she offers the police a bag of chips or are they considered dirty-chips?
