Knock Knock. Who's there? Bzzzz...

Knocking is overrated. Sometimes you just can't wait for a door to be opened. Apparently a guy from Pennsylvania felt this way. He used a chain saw to get into his neighbor's house.

Robert Kane was upset when friends of his neighbor, Jamie Zaleski, were parked in front of his house. Some people might call and ask if the cars could be moved. Heck, if there was really a problem, maybe even have the cars towed. But Kane took another approach:


"Police said when Zaleski asked who was at the door, Kane said it was his worst nightmare, told him, 'Open the door or I'll cut it down,' and started sawing."


Somebody likes to think he's the badass in some action/revenge movie. Not so, sir.

At least it opens the door (hehehe) to a bunch of new knock-knock jokes.

Really, Peabody?

A police union in Peabody, MA wants September 11 off or holiday pay. Because nobody felt 9/11 quite like the Peabody police.

Of course, I think police are so important and do a great job. But this would have much more credence if it were, say, the NYPD. Nice try, guys. Incidentally:

"A union representing 24,000 NYPD officers has tried during contract discussions to get extra pay for anti-terrorism work in the years since the September 11 attack but has been unsuccessful. Patrolmen's Benevolent Association spokesman Al O'Leary said the pay would be more appropriate than extra pay for one day."

I agree. Give the pay for their hard work, not just for the anniversary.
