It's A Mad Mad World

 A climate of stupidity made this collection possible.

It chronicles the most outrageous occurrences of shortsightedness, incompetence, and poor judgment.

Not all characters in these dispatches are stupid.  Some are merely ridiculous or momentarily inept.

Others are very bright people who become innocently entangled in improbable situations that turned out to sound stupid.

The papers that reported these occurrences are all reputable mainstream bastions of journalism.

Thanks to them, for without their efforts we will never see any strange news from this strange planet.

Although a lot of us are worried about the threat of crimes in our neighborhood.  The good news is, that there are plenty of crooks who don't realize that they are their worst enemy.

Are you ready? Here we go!

A dog in Pennsylvania shocked its owners after eating $4,000 (Rs 3.32 lakh) in cash. According to the BBC, seven-year-old Cecil, a goldendoodle, snacked on the envelope of money its owners had set aside for some job last month. Clayton and Carrie Law said they retrieved most of the money from the chewed up lot and only $450 is missing. They even took to a veterinarian but were told the dog is fine.

The couple had withdrawn the money to pay to a contractor in cash for installing a fence.

About 30 minutes later, they were surprised to find their beloved dog enjoying the money, leaving scattered pieces of cash everywhere.
