Good thing nobody ever slammed the door!

A couple in the UK unwittingly used a live bomb as a doorstop for
23 years. Until, that is, a local policeman recognized it as a
World War II "ack-ack" shell and contacted the bomb squad.

The former owner said, "Children and grand-children have played
with it. We're lucky it didn't go off."

====================================================

A bonehead award goes to the skipper of an ocean
freighter "the length of two football fields."

Because of him, the shipping company that owns the vessel has
agreed to pay the natives of an isolated Pacific island (Satawal)
about $2 million because of damage he caused to valuable coral
reef life.

It seems that he tried maneuvering the massive vessel through an
island channel so he could get a better look at the island's
topless women.

=====================================================

And then we have a bonehead award for another robber in Amstel,
MA who tried to carry away the cash register.

Now he's suing the store because he hurt his back trying to haul
away the heavy machine. He says they should have had a sign
warning people that the cash registers are very heavy.
