This is the eight installment of a StrangeRush mini.

A Small AD-dition-

LINCOLN, Nebraska- An advertising salesperson for a newspaper made more money based on the size of each edition of the paper. To boost her salary she took out fake ads. When the owner of the newspaper started calling the companies in the ads to collect payment, he started learning that no ads were ever purchased, and there were many of them. SCORE for the companies, sounds like free advertising to me. How long did she actually expect her plan to go undetected?

The Wedding Dress Train From Hell-

BEIJING, China- A Chinese bride wanted to enter the Guinness Book of World Records and she wanted to do it in style. Bride Lin Rong wanted to have the longest wedding dress train in history. And we’re not talking 20, 50, 100 or even 1000 feet long. It took guests more than three hours roll out the dress and apply 9,999 silk red roses to the 1.2 mile long train. The groom’s family went on record opposing the costly $5,856 dress and his mother said, “ It is a waste of money in my opinion.” I’m gonna second that and say it’s a waste of a lot more than just money. 

Take Me Drunk I’m Home-

LINCOLN, Nebraska- A young 21-year-old man could not find his keys so he broke into his house. Police were called to investigate and found the man in the basement. When questioned he told cops he was home. In fact, he was not home but had broken into the wrong house a few streets away. He was arrested on trespassing and vandalism. You’ve gotta be pretty drunk to make that mistake.

A Cheesy Altercation-

SHELBYVILLE, Tennessee- A feisty couple, a 40-year-old man and 44-year-old woman got into a highly emotional verbal altercation. Somehow during the verbal barrage it got physical using Cheetos. Yes, orange and cheesy Cheetos. They were both arrested and charged with domestic assault. I could be wrong, but the last time I used Cheetos as a weapon it was called a food fight.
