(News.com.au) - A man was horrified to learn after he had walked down the aisle that he was already married - after a drunken holiday romance he could barely remember.

The husband has had to confess in the Family Court that he spent 28 days partying and drinking in Arizona in 1978 on leave from his job as a cook on the oil rigs.

He can remember the “nice” blonde American women he met through a penpal newspaper advertisement - but little more.

“He has no recollection of going through any form of ceremony of marriage with her, or of discussing marriage, or of anything referable to marriage,” said Justice Sally Brown, who annulled the marriage last month. [Drunken Marriage via News.com.au]

(CBS) Talk about squeezing every penny at the gas pump. Denver police say clerks at a gas station had a run-in with a man who insisted on using $10 worth of pennies to prepay for his fuel on Thursday.

The clerks said they were too busy with other customers and vendors making deliveries to accept the sackful of cents. They said the man was insistent and became offensive, so they called police and referred to him as an "unwanted person."

Police say that before they arrived, the man left without any fuel but with his pennies. Station employees say he was driving a satellite TV truck. [Pinching Pennies via CBS]

The man was caught late at night stealing from a German supermarket.  The thief escaped but was still handcuffed.  The man then ran to the local police station to have to cuffs removed.

"It was stupid of him," said a police spokesman said.

"They took the cuffs off but they kept him."

I’m not really sure he would have ever gotten the cuffs off anyway.  I think he was just getting his inevitable capture over with.

A girl was refused from entering her prom because her custom dress violated school dress code.  The girl, Marche Taylor, raised hell after she was refused at the door.  She was then escorted to jail by the police.  Looking at the picture, she shouldn’t have been let in the prom.

Marche Taylor’s prom night experience wasn’t what you would call “the norm.”

That’s because instead of a night of dancing and hanging out with friends, the Madison High School senior ended up in a confrontation with school officials and escorted out in handcuffs. Officials said her dress was inappropriate for the prom.

“I actually like the dress. Everybody else likes my dress,” Taylor said.

Madison High’s prom took place at the Sugar Land Marriott, but Taylor only got as far as the lobby. When she tried to enter the ballroom, an official stopped her.

I can hardly write this story, it is so VERY dumb.  A man wielding a gun walks into Taco John’s Restaurant and demands money.  When they refuse, the man actually gives up and orders lunch.  He then sits down and eats.

The really sad part of this story:  They didn’t arrest the guy until later when he was found at a hotel.  How could they miss the guy?  He was sitting down in the restaurant he tried to rob EATING!
