NEW CASTLE —
Sometimes I can be a little behind in what's happening around the world.
If it isn't in the New Castle News or headlines on my Yahoo page, I have no idea what is going on.
Since I am on scanner duty a lot for The News, I do know what is going on with the police and fire calls in town.
Just recently, the police were called to Mr. Pizza's parking lot, because a man was walking around with his pants down.
Thankfully, he was gone when the police arrived and I wasn't called to takes photos.
When I posted this on Facebook, cousin Barb asked if it was Randy Travis.
I didn't have a clue what she was talking about, but I soon found out.
To put you all at ease, I can't think of any condition I would be in, that I would go into a store naked, and order two packs of cigarettes.
I don't smoke.
I will have to plead guilty about the pants down thing, though.
While carrying a very heavy TV set to the garage, all of a sudden I felt very cool from my waist down.
There was no way I could let go of the TV and pull up my pants, so I had to continue on, with my pants on the ground.
As far as I know, no neighbor spotted the blessed event, but my wife did.
Let's just say she got very amused and made a mad dash for the bathroom.
I'm not sure if she made it or not.
No one ever thinks about the poor guy trying to carry a heavy TV, and can only take baby steps.
After a long trek, I finally made it to the garage, but there might have been some gravel in my pants.
To ensure the neighbors’ safety from seeing this happening again, I no longer carry anything that weighs over two pounds.
So, how much do you think a 'Mr. Pizza' pizza might weigh?
