One of my favorite newspaper headlines of the past year was "Man Appears In Court After Decapitation Aboard Bus". How could he manage to get there with no head? How could he be identified? What did his mug shot look like? Was it labelled "Anonymous"?
I just read a follow-up story about the incident. The perpetrator of the act appeared in court--with his head attached. The charges he faced included cannibalizing the victim. The report didn't say what he was accused of eating, but it was probably something from that head. (Bus Station food is notoriously bad--but really...!) He was found "not criminally responsible because of mental illness".
Well, that's a no-brainer!
About Me
- grmapege
- I was born and raised in Greensboro, graduated from Greensboro Senior High and Duke University. After teaching in Medellin, Colombia, I married, then divorced Bruce Clapper after having 2 beautiful daughters--Cathy (Stewart) and Kim (Harrison). In later years I worked at the family business, Greensboro Printing Company, from which I retired in 1996. I'm ready for a bridge or Scrabble game any time. I waste a lot of time playing bridge on line. I enjoy theater (as a performer as well as a spectator). I've adopted a little (mostly) terrier named Murphy who is a great bed dog.
