Annual Job Quitting Day 4: Lawsuits, James Bond, Hunting, Weddings and More

Ever go to a local cafe, restaurant, work etc. and hear people talking about the most outrageous stories that you wonder if they could possibly be true? Well if today is one of those "I WISH I COULD QUIT MY JOB" days then lean back in that chair and relax for a moment and get a couple laughs out of these weird, but true news stories.

Read the following paragraph; James Dr No From Russia With Love Goldfinger Thunderball You Only Live Twice On Her Majesty's Secret Service Diamonds Are Forever Live And Let Die The Man With The Golden Gun The Spy Who Loved Me Moonraker For Your Eyes Only Octopussy A View To A Kill The Living Daylights Licence To Kill Golden Eye Tomorrow Never Dies The World Is Not Enough Die Another Day Casino Royale Bond

Looks like someone just mashing together all the James Bonds films together right? Well in November 2006 it was reported that a 23-year old that lived in Walsall, Staffordshire actually changed his name to the paragraph you just read above.

In the United Kingdom emergency calls run to the number 999 as opposed to 911 in the United States. While playing pranks over the emergency lines is no laughing matter, you have to laugh at the initial reason for a few of these calls:

"I've had a dream that I was unconscious and I've just collapsed."

"Help! My trousers don't fit."

"I need someone to change the television channel."

"I've broken my fingernail. HELP!"

Ridiculous lawsuits are one of my favorite things to search for on the Internet, and here are some I have come across recently:

Picture a woman cleaning your house and picking up this beautiful candle on your mantle and deciding, "Hell, this looks like it would be a nice addition to my house, I think I'll take it!" Goes home, puts the candle on her dresser and lights its only for it to blow up in her face!

This happened in Grand Haven, Michigan where the woman who actually stole a firework that was mistaken for a candle sued the homeowners citing that there was no warning label on the item.

A couple others that are entertaining might be how a man who was in prison actually sued the prison for causing him gas stating that it was due to the food they were serving him. Or a drunk woman who sued the police for not arresting her after she was pulled over.

Wedding humor can always be a little touchy, but a woman in Austria thought it would be funny to say "I don't" during the her wedding ceremony only to find out when it happened that the law in Austria states that they must cancel a wedding if anyone answers negative to eliminate any forced marriages. I BET THE PARENTS WERE $@%^#%^&!

Finally I have to share this hunting story I read about where this guy went out and shot a duck in the wing and the leg went over picked it up and took it home. After greeting his family he placed the duck in the fridge overnight before they planned on eating it. The man's wife opened the fridge a couple days later only to have the duck lift its head and look at her.

They took the duck to the animal clinic where surgeries were performed on her wing, leg, and beak which vets were giving "Perky" (her name) a 75 % survival rate. During the operation she did it again as a vet pronounced her dead and within 20 seconds the duck was flapping its wings around going' crazy, lol.

If you would like to read more animated stories I would just send you here. I hope you have enjoyed another installment of AJQD, the more popular this becomes the more frequent I will write them so pass it on to your friends.
