Walk For The Animals, Calling The Police ON The Police & The World's WORST Blind Date

If you caught Debra Joseph's last visit to More In The Morning, then you know that we are gearing up for this year's Walk For The Animals in downtown Fredericksburg. Debra is the Director of the Fredericksburg Regional SPCA and she reminds us that this will be the twelfth annual walk, all to benefit the Fredericksburg SPCA. Once again, there are some great prizes this year, but the whole is so much fun, the prizes are almost secondary. It starts on Maury Field, downtown, at 8 A.M., and now we need YOU to come out and walk with us. Yes, I'll be out there along with my wife, Rae, Braden Smith, our Thunder crew and once again, a special guest appearance by Watson The Wonder Dog. Not that it's a race, in fact on the contrary, it's a leisurely walk through downtown, but last year Watson took the word "leisurely" to new heights. If you were there, you know we came in dead last. In fact, by the time we got back to Maury Field, I looked like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. But Watson assures me that this year, he'll do better. As you can see, he's training hard.

By the way, Watson More now has his own Facebook page. Check it out when you can and become a friend.

Let's go to the news:

Eaton, Ohio........Police in Eaton got a frantic 911 call from this woman.

She's Andrea Elliot, and she called 911 and told them to hurry and send the police to rescue her because some police were trying to put handcuffs on her and arrest her for being drunk and disorderly. The 911 dispatcher explained to her that they don't send the police to stop the police from arresting people.

WELL, THEN, WHAT GOOD ARE THEY??!

I guess I understand. I mean if they sent police, then they'd have to send MORE police to stop the police from making the arrest. It could go on forever and ever.

In the end, it all worked out pretty well because once they got the handcuffs on her, it turned out she liked it.

IN THE "WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS DOESN'T NECESSARILY STAY IN VEGAS" DEPARTMENT: Alex Buehler of Eau Claire, Wisconsin pleaded guilty to bigamy after his wife, whom he married in Las Vegas three years ago, discovered his first wife on Facebook. Worse than that, she also discovered that he was still married to her! In court, Buehler told the judge that he had meant to divorce his first wife, but he "lost track of time" and it just "slipped away" from him and he never got around to it.

HE ALSO MEANT TO MOVE TO UTAH, BUT HE LOST TRACK OF TIME AND IT JUST SLIPPED AWAY AND HE NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT.

I would think this dope's defense would've been he thought weddings performed by bad Elvis impersonators didn't count.

Finally, you have GOT to love this guy.......

This man, with the Derek Jeter ("Where am I") expression on his face is 43 year-old Andrew Palmer of Baltimore, Maryland. He likes to eat in fancy restaurants, but he doesn't like to pay the tab. Many of us feel that way, but he actually did something about it. Palmer devised a little scheme in which he would go into a restaurant, eat and drink aggressively, and then when the bill would come, he would fake a seizure and be taken away to the hospital, where he would be looked over and then, of course, released. This is something you might get away with once, maybe twice is you're lucky, but Palmer did it eighteen times in restaurants throughout Baltimore and beyond, even travelling as far south as Florida to sample of of their eating establishments.

His antics finally caught the attention of Maryland Assistant State Attorney Scott Richard, and of course, it didn't take long to mount a case against him. He was arrested and sentenced to eighteen months in prison.

In this guy's defense, did anyone stop to consider that he WASN'T faking it? Maybe he's just been eating in the wrong restaurants.

The good news for this guy: For the next eighteen months, he will be getting FREE MEALS!!!!!!!!

...and when he does get out of jail, good news for you ladies out there: HE'S SINGLE!!!!!!!!!! But I wouldn't recommend going out on a dinner date with him.
