Man Crashes Car Into Restaurant Then Orders Breakfast
A 91-year-old man who crashed his car into a popular Florida restaurant proceeded to sit down and order breakfast near his vehicle, authorities said.
Tonya Gilardi, a spokeswoman for Port Orange Fire, said Charles Pierce was not injured when he crashed his car into the Biscuits 'N' Gravy restaurant at 11:11 a.m. Monday, but another customer was treated for minor injuries at Halifax Health Medical Center in Port Orange, the Daytona Beach (Fla.).
"A firefighter told me he sat down and ordered breakfast right after the crash," Gilardi said of Pierce. "He sat close to where the crash occurred so he could keep an eye on his car."
Port Orange Assistant Police Chief Wayne Miller said Pierce was attempting to park Monday at the restaurant when he pressed the accelerator "one too many times" and the vehicle slammed through the glass window of the cafe. Miller said Pierce was issued a citation for careless driving.
Man Wishes Wife Happy Birthday With Manure
An Iowa farmer has given his wife her "crappiest" ever birthday present.
Dick Kleis used a manure spreader to spell out "HAP B DAY LUV U" in a field visible from the living room of the couple's home.
Wife Carole was surprisingly happy with the gift of more than 50 tonnes of dung. "He's done weird things before for birthdays," she said. "But maybe not this weird."
Mr Kleis did also take his wife out for dinner and a movie to celebrate her 67th birthday, but wanted to do something unique.
