Embarrassing

Have you ever failed at something and then had to live with the consequences? Jerry Lynn has. He suffered a comical misstep with a simple home repair and he now gets a daily reminder of his failures.

It comes at exactly 6:50pm each evening.

Many wondered if Brazil would be able to ward off rampant crime (and the Zika virus) in order to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. Near the end of the global competition, four American swimmers claimed they were robbed at gunpoint…but they were lying.

Given the consequences they’re facing, one of them might wish he actually was robbed….

You’ve heard of “drunk dialing.” You’ve heard of “cow tipping.” But have you ever heard of “drunk tipping”? If not, just know two things:

Going to the bathroom should be a private event. Everyone should be given the necessary solitude to answer nature’s call. But due to a snafu at CNN, one reporter inadvertently took all of America into the restroom with her.

Just don’t expect to talk your way out of a speeding ticket, though.

Coach Brown and his squad of little leaguers were down 11 runs in the 8th inning. He was as frustrated as the 4th graders he was coaching. The game was all but lost, and the poor attitudes around him just kept getting worse.

When he could take it no more, Coach Brown walked over for a heart-to-heart talk with his young pitcher.

On January 31, 2012, 73-year-old Carl Ericsson rang the doorbell of Norman Johnson, a classmate of his from the 1950s. When the elderly Johnson opened the door, Ericsson pulled a .45-caliber pistol from his pocket and shot the homeowner dead.
