Friday’s Conversation Topics

Tongue-tied when it’s your turn to say something interesting?
Read these news stories and you’ll have fun and interesting conversation topics at the ready.

With Halloween just passed we know these crime stories will be about.
- Subway worker throws pot of soup on would-be robber in ghost mask. A Subway sandwich worker hurled a pot of soup at a would-be armed robber wearing a ghost mask in Braidwood before chasing him away. Don’t they know to use the day-old bread instead?

- Weird Crime: If at first you don’t succeed, sober up before you try again. When Patricia pulled into the school parking lot at around 8:15 AM, she proceeded to ram her Hyundai into a parked Smart car….which is something that potentially could have happened without alcohol being a factor; Smart cars are hard to see (and look ridiculous enough to inspire unbridled rage in some). Unfortunately, Patricia then proceeded to back up and collide with the Smart car two more times before deciding that her parking job was satisfactory.

- Rebuilding time. I’d be amiss if I didn’t include a Hurricane Sandy storm today. With costs projected to be $20 billion to $50 billion to rebuild the hurrican proved, once again, that nothing stops Mother Nature. Pay particular attention to the videos and the images.
