Yes, I read the story about the mean mom too and I thought it was awesome as well, but never thought of posting it here.
Did anyone read the story about the guys who were trying to take a dead guy to cash his disability check? It happened in New York. I guess they had a long history of drug abuse and when the store owner insisted on the check recipient to be present..well, they just dressed him up and wheeled him in a office chair through the city to this store. I thought it was really sad but also a sad statement of how absolutely screwed up their thinking had become.
