He ³ ³ turned on the gas in his apartment to end it all, then ³ ³ changed his mind and turned off the gas. Relaxing from his ³ ³ close call, he sat back and lit a cigarette. BOOM! The ³ ³ apartment was destroyed and Leclerc is recovering from ³ ³ severe burns. ³ ³ ³ ³ Paris, France - Rich French women with nothing better to do ³ ³ believe they have come up with a way to keep their youthful ³ ³ complexions: by taking hour-long baths in tubs full of ³ ³ yogurt. We at ROTFL Digest don't know how they look, but ³ ³ we're willing to bet that they don't smell so good. ³ ³ ³ ³ Agnone, Italy - Santino Luzaro's worst nightmare came true ³ ³ when he was struck by lightning while sitting in a dentist's ³ ³ chair. The 23-year old salesman survived the freak lightning ³ ³ strike but was bounced out of the chair and lay unconscious ³ ³ for almost 10 minutes, said Dr. Salvatore Ericato. Perhaps a ³ ³ little Divine intervention to indicate the necessity of ³ ³ scheduling regular dental checkups? Hmmmmm! ³ ³ ³ ³ Nice, France - 22-year old Jacquelyn LaBow was thrown in jail ³ ³ for six days for riding naked on an elephant beside a busy ³ ³ highway during rush hour. ³ ³ ³ ³ Sunderland, England - A 53-year old was rushed to hospital ³ ³ with breathing problems when he mistook a bottle of glue for ³ ³ nasal spray, and sealed his nose shut. Don't they have ³ ³ product labels over there??? ³ ³ ³ ³ Miserton, England - 37-year old Alison Hewson shot her ³ ³ husband in the head with a pellet gun because he hadn't ³ ³ brought in the wash from the clothesline. He was treated ³ ³ at a hospital and released. Mrs. Hewson received two years ³ ³ probation after admitting to the shooting. We wonder what the ³ ³ penalty is in England for forgetting to make the bed. ³ ³ ³ ³ Livonia, Michigan - Enterprising Dr. M. George found a fast ³ ³ way for flu patients to get their shots. He set up a ³ ³ drive-thru window. Patients pull up, stick their arms out the ³ ³ car windows, get the shots, then pay $20.00. They are asked ³ ³ to hang around for 10 minutes to make sure they don't have a ³ ³ reaction to the vaccine. ROTFL Digest simply can't wait for ³ ³ brain surgeons to take up this practice ("We'll take the ³ ³ double prefrontal lobotomy with a side order of fries...") ³ ³ ³ ³ Idaho Falls, Idaho - 8-year old Richard Knecht set an amazing ³ ³ record by doing 25,222 straight sit-ups in 11 hours, 14 ³ ³ minutes. We wonder how much garbage he could take out in that ³ ³ same amount of time. ³ ³ ³ ³ Japan - Pampered pets around the world can now have their ³ ³ fortune told by their very own professional psychic. Owners ³ ³ send photos of their pets to the psychic, along with the ³ ³ animal's birth date, blood type, and $43.00 in cash. In ³ ³ return they get a taped message foretelling the pet's future. ³ ³ ³ ³ Lyons, France - Two bungling burglars blasted open a bank's ³ ³ cash dispensing machine with explosives and accidentally ³ ³ burned up all the money they'd intended to steal. An ³ ³ estimated $64,000.00 was reduced to ashes in seconds. ³ ³ ³ ³ Afula, Israel - Yosef Levin was charged with stealing the ³ ³ wallets of at least six guests at his daughter Octavia's ³ ³ wedding. To make matters worse, he was arrested by the father ³ ³ of the groom, police chief Gershom Sliverton. ³ ³ ³ ³ Morocco - Police commissioner Mohamed Mustapha Tabet ³ ³ was executed by firing squad for forcing women to ³ ³ take part in orgies. He told the court he'd had sex ³ ³ with 1,600 women in three years. ROTFL Digest wants ³ ³ to know if anyone ever saw him IN his uniform. ³ ³ ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ³ 50 cents - The Figmentary News - September, 1993 ³ ³ ³ ³ Published at random intervals vaguely related to the moon's cycles ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ³ WOMAN SWALLOWS CLOCK AND DEVELOPS ³ ³ DYSLEXIC CHRISTIAN SELLS SOUL ³ ³ A NERVOUS TICK ³ ³ TO SANTA ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ ³ Hilda Vlebenstein became alarmed ³ ³ Bob Fogie decided to cash in on a ³ ³ last Friday evening when she ³ ³ multitude of earthly rewards by ³ ³ accidentally swallowed a clock ³ ³ selling his soul to Satan, but Bob ³ ³ and developed a nervous tick. ³ ³ ended up selling his soul to Santa ³ ³ Doctors were unable to remove the ³ ³ by mistake.
