Right off the bat, let me say "You just can't fix stupid!" A little after 3 a.m. last Sunday morning, a man assaulted an L.A. officer and jumped into her SUV and sped off. Somehow, the officer was ejected from the vehicle.

The driver later crashed injuring three people including the Los Angeles police officer. Thank goodness, none of the injuries were life-threatening.

Often we say to ourselves, what were they thinking? I think we are better off not knowing how the criminal element thinks.

Here's one thing that I do know. If you are planning on stealing an official police vehicle, you might want to make sure the officer is not inside.

Also, to those that wear the uniform, thank you very much!

Get ready to ask yourself, how in the world does this happen? Out of the country of Indonesia comes the story of a man who finds the love of his wife. They were so in love, they decided to tie the knot. After the two lovers said their “I Do’s,” a conversation took place between the Groom and his father-in-law. During the meet up, the father-in-law actually revealed the cold hard truth. I am guessing the convo went something like this. “You know the woman you are married to? Yes sir. She is actually a man.” The two met online and were married for 12 days. In the country of Indonesia, there actually could be prison time for the man who pretended to be a woman. Stay tuned for more to come.
