Bizarre but true stories about real people collected by syndicated columnist Chuck Shepherd.
The Speaker of the New Zealand House ruled in May that, though laptop computers are forbidden in the chamber, one member could bring in his carburetor and work on it, as long he didn’t make noise.
And the Green Party in Granada, Spain, for the country’s May elections, offered a comprehensive platform that included issuing “sex vouchers” to give adults under age 25 local hotel-room discounts to encourage couples’ intimacy (and safe sex and contraception) because most people that age still live with their parents.
In Easton, Pa., in June, Richard James Clader, 38, was sentenced to at least seven months in prison for a series of episodes on state roads 22 and 33 in which eventually 27 people contacted authorities to report that a motorist (identified as Clader) had driven nude, with the horn blasting, while vigorously masturbating. Clader told the judge that he believes his behavior stemmed from feeling neglected as a child and later by his wife, but said he is making substantial progress.
