The blotter

By TED SULLIVAN Tuesday, February 9, 2010 - 9:16 a.m.

A woman told police someone broke the back window of her car with a potato. The back window was shattered. A potato was in the back of the car.
A woman told police her two sons got into a physical fight. One brother wouldn’t let the other brother drive while he was intoxicated. The other brother didn’t remember anything that happened. All he remembered was that his brother punched him. He didn’t know why.
A man called police to report that he lost his wallet. He told police he last saw it when he went to a bar at 11 a.m. to get a "breakfast shot."

Some old blotter items I never reported:

Teenage girls stole a pregnancy test from a store on Humes Road.
Two “Hanna Montana” T-shirts, women’s blue jeans, men’s socks, a baby swing base and a toddler walker were stolen from a store on Deerfield Drive.

The proper term would be "brunch shot".

I'm so accustomed to how dismal and rotten everything is, I just can't bear to click on the story about the Madison couple who are "..happy with chickens."

It was probably launched with a "spud launcher".
.
As for the last item, how in the world do you make it out the door with that kind of stuff????
