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 turn 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 many of us are worried about the threat of crimes in our neighborhood.  The good news is that plenty of crooks don't realize that they are their worst enemy.

Are you ready? Here we go!

Detroit Michigan- Mrs. Florence Loverde 45, placed a wooden table beneath a tree to rescue a stranded cat squawling in the branch of a tree. The table collapsed and Mrs. Loverde suffered a broken left leg and internal injuries.  

It is ironic ... that the cat climbed down unassisted and walked away. Didn't she know that?
