Worth noting

This morning, I walked into my office building and there was an empty elevator, sitting with it's door open. I got in, suspicious of my good fortune. I pushed 8. And wouldn't you know, the elevator went straight to 8, no stopping to pass go, no collecting $200. For those who don't know the infamy of our office elevators, this borders on being miraculous!

Alas, I have two news stories to share today. The first is about a man who is accused of assault for smooshing a microwave hamburger in a store clerks face.
Man Allegedly Assaults Clerk With Burger
Investigators say Carr got angry on Nov. 28 when the clerk at a Cumberland Farms would not allow him to pay for a hamburger while it was heating in the store microwave. Police said the clerk, Scott Litzenberger, told Carr he had to bring the burger to the counter 15 feet away to pay for it.

After a sharp exchange of words, the man walked back to the microwave, removed the steaming burger and walked back to Litzenberger.

The two apparently exchanged a few brief words again, when the customer, "just lost it," according to another clerk. Instead of paying for it, Carr shoved it into the clerk's face, burning his face and eye, police Sgt. Anthony Triano said.

The other story features a Santa Claus I wouldn't mind getting a visit from this Christmas.
***Disclaimer*** I should say, while the concept is pretty ingenius, I certainly don't endorse the practice of selling drugs to school kids.

The [Santa] dolls opened up like Easter eggs, each containing sweets and a small plastic bag of marijuana.
