ELGIN, Ill. (AP) – Police say a cabdriver didn’t have any Mace or pepper spray when he was attacked by a knife-wielding passenger, so he improvised and sprayed the would-be robber in the face with an aerosol deodorant.
Elgin Deputy Police Chief Jeff Swoboda said the 51-year-old cabbie, whom he declined to identify, picked up the passenger early Thursday morning outside the Grand Victoria Casino. Swoboda said the driver became suspicious when the passenger changed his destination, so he surreptitiously placed the small can of deodorant between his legs.
When the passenger put a 10-inch knife to the driver’s neck, the cabbie sprayed him in the eyes, causing him to drop the knife. Swoboda said the passenger punched the cabbie, but did not seriously injure him. He then fled, leaving the knife behind. Source
A father in the Washington D.C. area is desperate to get rid of his Cocker Spaniel…
“My deceased aunt gave my two kids a Cocker Spaniel a few months back. The dog has been a terror and become overwhelming for me. I am a single father raising two young children. I cannot face telling the kids that the dog must go. I have found a good home for the dog, and just need someone to transport the dog, and play the villain.
Premise: You will be the dog walker hired by daddy (me) to walk Skittles. I will introduce you to the kids, and you will tell them you are going to help Skittles get her exercise when Daddy is too busy to walk her. At that point you will walk Skittles to your car and take her to her new family 20 minutes from my place. Then return holding just a leash. The story will be that Skittles broke free of the leash and took off. At this point prepare for crying, things being thrown at you, and possibly cursing. My kids are young and dramatic, their girls.
Pay will be $500. The job will take roughly 2 hours at best.
This job is ideal for an actor looking to diversify their role base, or someone who genuinely likes to make children cry. Acting experience is a plus, but not necessary. Please inform me of any prior experience in this kind of situation.” Source
