Man from Fort Gay Banned From XBox Live

A man from West Virginia was banned from Xbox Live for listing “Fort Gay” as his home town. It took a while to sort out but everything is back to normal and the man’s account has been restored.

“Someone took the phrase ‘fort gay WV’ and believed that the individual who had that was trying to offend, or trying to use it in a pejorative manner,” Toulouse said. “Unfortunately, one of my people agreed with that. … When it was brought to my attention, we did revoke the suspension.”

Breaking in to Steal …Bacon!

A man burglarized a house in Redhill, Surrey, England Saturday and stole a telephone and a package of bacon. That’s all he took.

Det Con Knowles said: “This is a very peculiar burglary as the suspect placed a rasher of bacon over a door handle before leaving the property. “The victims are at a loss to understand why someone would break in to their house and steal a packet of bacon and we are equally stumped as to who this potentially peckish suspect is.”

The telephone was recovered. The bacon is nowhere to be found. Can you imagine why anyone would steal wonderful, delicious bacon? Police have released this CCTV image of the suspect.

Squeaky Car Engine Turned out to be a Cat

John Kellas went to a car mechanic complaining that his car’s engine was making a squeaking noise. The culprit turned out to be a trapped kitten:

“I said no, no, it must be some engine part – as I could not see any cat. But when I went into town in the afternoon, I was convinced too that I heard something. But every time I stopped the car, I could not hear or see anything.

“I decided to take the vehicle to Farmer Autocare in Perth, but the mechanics couldn’t find it either. They were thinking I was taking the mickey out of them, that I was referring to a catalytic converter or something

“Just when they were about to give up, we all heard the kitten. At that point two of the mechanics stripped out the bottom of the car. That was when we saw a couple of little eyes peeking out from the dark corner, looking very terrified.
