And You Thought You Had a Bad Day (Part 2)
Surprised while burgling a house in Antwerp, Belgium, a thief fled out the back door, clambered over a nine foot wall, dropped down and found himself in the city prison.
Two West German motorists had an all too literal head on collision in heavy fog near the small town of Guetersloh. Each was guiding his car at a snail's pace near the center of the road. At the moment of impact their heads were both out of the windows when they smacked together. Both men were hospitalized with severe head injuries. Their cars weren't scratched.
In a classic case of one thing leading to another, seven men aged eighteen to twenty nine received jail sentences of three to four years in Kingston on Thames, England, in 1979 after a fight that started when one of the men threw a french fry at another while they stood waiting for a train.
