Cheating hubby exposed by parrot

A cheating husband was exposed after his wife's parrot mimicked his voice calling out another woman's name.
Frank Ficker, 50, has now been kicked out of the family home by wife Petra, also 50, after she heard their 12-year-old parrot Hugo impersonating him on the phone to another woman.
Petra, of Freiburg, Germany, said: "Hugo always liked to mimic Frank and he could do his voice perfectly.
"Frank asking who's at the door, Frank yelling at our nephews, Frank telling me he loved me. And then one day I heard him doing Frank's voice, but saying "Uta, Uta"."
Petra turned the house upside down and found two plane tickets for a weekend break in Paris booked for her husband - and a mystery woman named Uta.
She said: "I kicked him straight out. It's just me and my parrot now."


Man tries to flee police on lawn mower

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Bad idea: fleeing from police in a stolen car. Terrible idea: fleeing in a stolen lawn mower. But that's what police say a "happy drunk" did, a decision that landed the suspect back in prison for violating his parole. Police say they got a tip about a stolen riding lawnmower. When they investigated, they spotted a man driving across a cornfield near Springfield. "I happened to be driving south when the call went out, and lo and behold, off to the west there was this man bouncing through the cornfield with his ponytail flopping in the breeze," said Kurt Taraba, a police officer in the suburb of Southern View.

Sangamon County Sheriff's Deputy Jim Tapscott said authorities set up a perimeter while he and another deputy drove into the field to talk to the lawnmower driver. They identified themselves and told him to stop, but he allegedly tried to drive off."I thought, 'You're on a riding mower, and we're in a car,'" Tapscott said with a laugh. "He was only going four or five miles per hour, so I got out and jogged alongside him." The driver finally stopped when police threatened to stun him with a Taser.

Police arrested Charles H. Carter, 45, and returned him to the Illinois Department of Corrections. Carter was wearing an ankle monitor because he'd been on home confinement. The Prisoner Review Board will decide whether he goes back on parole or remains in prison to serve the rest of his two-year sentence for theft. Deputies have been unable to determine who owns the Craftsman mower. They said Carter had a handwritten bill of sale for it, but was unable to tell them where it was purchased or provide any other details.



New Sex Diet Leaves Them Wanting More

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- A new diet promises to slim folks down with sexy results.
The so-called diet book "The Ultimate Sex Diet" (True Courage) requires that lovers engage in sex to burn off the pounds. Author Kerry McCloskey says your partner becomes your nutritionist, psychologist and personal trainer.
There are sexual positions like the "Let's Get Crazy" position where the legs of the woman are on top of the man's shoulders. McCloskey says this one tones the man's arms and the woman's tummy.
She designed and followed the diet and lost 23 pounds in six months.
McCloskey says the sex diet is meant for partners, but lonely lardos who can't find a mate can use other techniques like fantasizing about sex to reduce stress.
At the very worst, she says the diet can make a good pickup line: "I have a new sex diet and I need someone to help me out."

Cleaners 'hoovered cash from slot machines'

Two cleaning ladies are being investigated for using industrial vacuum cleaners to suck cash out of casino slot machines.
The women allegedly stole hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash out of slot machines in a Slovenian casino.
The police have now been called in after bosses at Casino Korona in the Kranjska Gora ski resort grew suspicious.
They say money started disappearing from slot machines after the casino closed for the night.
Officers believe at least two of the casino's cleaning ladies had been using the giant vacuum cleaners for months to suck cash out of the machine's slots.
Casino bosses estimate the women could have stolen up to £330,000 pounds but cannot prove it. The entire cleaning staff has been sacked.
