Every once in a while I wrote a blog about the oddities of the human race. So here is another chapter in the on going saga of humans on seriously God?
First there was the Iowa woman arriving back in the United States from Africa. She was landing in Minneapolis and went through customs. When it came time for her to declare things, she pulled out a box filled with giraffe feces, that's right giraffe poop. She chose to declare the material because she wanted to make jewelry - that is right, giraffe poop jewelry!
Now the interesting part of the process is that it is legal to bring giraffe poop into the United States but it involves getting a special permit and special inspections. The woman decided against it; she was not arrested. It sounds like a bunch of poop to me.
Next the baseball playoffs are occurring. It is a time of intense baseball emotions. One of the series involves the Phillies and the Pittsburg team. The game is in Pittsburg and during the pre-game when fans were coming in with their tickets, one woman said she wanted to make sure she had her emotional support alligator. The team of ticket takers had a conversation about the situation and then denied her request. I also had seen a woman who had an emotional support cow she wanted to take on a plane. Wow!
Then there was the story out of Florida. A single mom working hard to raise her two children. They were a ten year old boy and an 11 year old girl. There had been some difficulty so the kids had been grounded. All electronics had been taken away for a week. The two kids decided that was enough punishment for them. That night when mom went to bed they took off in the family car. The mom woke up and saw the car gone and reported it stolen. The police pulled over the car some 200 miles away from home. They pulled it over with sirens and red lights and drawn guns. When the doors of the car opened out came a 10 year old boy and an 11 year old girl. They had been headed for California where they believed there was freedom.
These are just a few things that happened in the last week regarding oddities. It reaffirms that mankind in the face of all that is logical and sane will go off on a tangent that makes no sense at all.
