• Would You Like a Coffin With That?

    I came across a story the other day about a man who died in a Burger King restaurant in the U.K. Seems the gent had stopped in at lunchtime, and had a Whopper of a heart attack. He collapsed while standing in line, and staff tried to revive him but were unsuccessful. Fortunately, nobody asked…

  • Buttering My Bread

    I’ve had my fair share of embarrassing incidents thanks to hidden cameras. Take our trip to Newport last December.

  • Holy Matrimony!

    As I write this post, I can hear waves crashing on the shore. I’m in a hotel room in Newport, Oregon, with the balcony door open and the cool salt air wafting in. I can hear the occasional cries of seagulls over the roar of the surf. It’s been a constant in my ears since…
