That Was Not A Turkey

How embarrassing must this have been? A couple of friends were out hunting for turkeys a few days ago. Somehow, one friend thought he spotted a turkey. He fired a shot. Instead of hitting a turkey, he shot his friend. Thank goodness, the friend will be okay. He had to be transported to the hospital for treatment. Not sure if the two are still friends.

Illegal Fruit Roll-Ups

What lengths would you go to in order to get your hands on a Fruit Roll-Up? Due to a Tik-Tok trend, Fruit Roll-Ups are harder to find than usual, especially overseas where they can go for as much as $5 PER roll-up. Israel Customs agents say they’ve seized almost 700 pounds in Fruit Roll-Ups recently. American couples are even getting caught trying to smuggle in the popular snack. One couple was caught with 375 POUNDS of Fruit Roll-ups. No need to pack clothes - they just stuffed their suitcases to the brim with Fruit Roll-Ups.
