Grade-Changing Graduate Caught in the Act
Martin Sedigh receives an F in execution. The 24-year-old financial analyst for Merrill Lynch broke into American University in an attempt to change the grades he received while in school, reports Washington City Paper. If that failed attempt is any reflection of his official grades, it's no wonder he broke in with such flawed desperation.
A D.C. Superior Court judge handed him a suspended sentence and six months of supervised probation, probably figuring Sedigh would suffer enough punishment being remembered as that guy who tried to change his grades three years after graduation. He, however, thinks he can avoid a "paper trail" from following him throughout the rest of his career.
Sorry, Mr. Sedigh, but you just made this one. --Jackie Mantey

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
One afternoon, I was in the backyard hanging the laundry when an old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. But when I walked into the house, he followed me, sauntered down the hall and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back. He resumed his position in the hallway and slept for an hour.
This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap. "
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with ten children - he's trying to catch up on his sleep."
I cried from laughter
