From the Anchorage Daily News Newsreader:
For inexplicable reasons, the Anchorage Press isn't naming the guilty in this story: A Juneau man's appeal of a drunken driving conviction on the grounds that he burped (or something), not farted, has failed. The story goes like this: If he'd burped, belched or regurgitated, the arresting officer would have had to restart the mandated 15-minute waiting period before administering the breathalyzer test. If he'd passed gas, no such delay would have been necessary. The officer was confident she could distinguish between a burp and a fart.

I went to a hearing with Dept of Unemployment yesterday to contest the payment to a former employee who was fired for throwing a stapler across the room.
His defense made about as much sense.
"Yes, I did read the violence in the workplace policy. Yes, I did initial a form saying that I read it. Yes, I did throw a stapler across the room and yell swears at the boss. But...it was like this: he asked me to mail some envelopes...and that's not my job! My job description? Uh...shipping clerk."
