i have a friend who did something yesterday that i wouldn't have imagined was possible. she shut her own head in a car door. (she is blonde, but that's too easy.) she showed me a welt-like mark under her chin and asked me to guess how she got it. then she explained. having just picked up her daughter from school, she was standing with her car door open, one leg in the car, talking with another mother. she was in a rush (i guess!), and just blurted out, "well, see you later", and started to lower herself into the vehicle while closing the door. but she got a little out of sequence and pulled the car door closed too soon. she says the embarrassment far exceeded the pain of the car door shutting on her head. :) mark

Charges on the rocks: Over-refreshed Zamboni driver not guilty of DWI thenewsvault.com NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - It's not drunken driving in New Jersey if it involves a Zamboni. A judge ruled the almost four-tonne ice-grooming machines aren't motor vehicles because they aren't usable on highways and can't carry passengers. Zamboni operator John Peragallo was convicted of drunken driving in 2005 after a fellow employee at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, N.J., told police the machine was speeding and nearly crashed into the boards. Police said Peragallo's blood alcohol level was 0.12 per cent. A level of 0.08 is considered legally impaired in New Jersey. Peragallo appealed, and Superior Court Judge Joseph Falcone on Monday overturned his licence revocation and penalties. Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Joseph D'Onofrio said no decision had been made on whether to appeal. Peragallo, 64, testified at his trial that he did drink beer and vodka, but not until after he had groomed the ice. However, he told police he had a shot of Sambuca with his breakfast coffee and two Valium-pills before work.
