A report (from the Consumer Product Safety Commission) reveals 120,000 Americans suffer clothing related injuries each year. Like the woman who dislocated her shoulder while putting on a T-shirt. Or the woman who, while slipping into a nightie, fell and broke her nose. Apparently, it’s common for people to hit themselves while pulling off socks. A man driving a snowmobile got his finger stuck in the coat pocket of a passing pedestrian. One woman caught her sweater on her earring and pulled it right through her earlobe.

Back to School time, and it's time for the kids to have shortages!
Adults have faced a lot of product shortages throughout the pandemic, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, bleach, cleaning supplies, gas, garden gnomes (yea..it was a thing), ketchup packets, Grape-Nuts, Milano cookies, and pocket change.
The "Wall Street Journal" says schools are concerned because juice boxes, hamburger beef patties, and chicken tenders are among the items that are in short supply. This is because of labor deficiencies and supply chain issues.
Other expected shortages include: Canned fruit, corn dogs, salsa, "Uncrustables" sandwiches, Italian salad dressing, and even the actual lunch trays.

A 31-year-old guy named Justin Butchino recently got pulled over in western Massachusetts for a not quite right license plate.
It was a temporary plate with such bad handwriting, they couldn't make out the numbers. It turned out the car wasn't registered, and his license was also expired.
But that's the least of his worries. Because while he was being arrested, they found drugs in his pocket. So they searched his car and found a family-size box of Frosted Flakes that was full of drugs.
There was one big bag of cocaine inside and over 3,000 tiny bags of heroin that he was obviously planning to sell. They also found a purse packed with even more drugs.
