JOKE: Presents for Teacher

On the last day of kindergarten, the children brought presents for their teacher. The florist's son gave her a box. She shook it, held it up, and said, "I bet I know what it is. Is it flowers?"

California driver takes offense to plaid jacket, tries to run wearer down

A Tiburon motorist is in jail after he tried to run down a pedestrian wearing a plaid jacket, police said.

It all began when 31-year-old Eugene Anderson apparently left his home in a huff Monday evening after a domestic dispute, jumped in his car and sped onto Tiburon Boulevard, said Tiburon police Sgt. Steve Hahn.

While on his way to buy a pack of cigarettes, Anderson spotted an unidentified man walking on the sidewalk and allegedly tried to run him down, Hahn said.

"He made statements to the effect of: He didn't like the plaid jacket the man was wearing," said Hahn.

The pedestrian avoided injury by jumping out of the way.

Hahn said the plaid jacket did not have a particularly loud pattern.

"I guess he was just really angry with whomever he saw."

Anderson was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and remained in the Marin County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
