LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON!

Father and Son hit Holes in One
NEWTON, Mass. (UPI) -- A Massachusetts man said he scored a hole in one at a Newton, Mass., golf course one week after his father achieved a similar feat at the same course.

Brian Hurley, 36, said he sank his 167-yard hole in one on the par-3 seventh hole of the Newton Commonwealth Golf Course Sunday, exactly one week after his father, Bill, 65, struck his own 145-yard hole in one on the 16th hole, also a par-3 hole, The Boston Globe reported.

"I've been working here for three years, and we only get a handful of holes in one a year," said Gerry Zegarelli, 21, who works in the Newton Commonwealth Golf Course pro shop. "To see two people from the same family make a hole in one in the same week is pretty impressive."

YOUR HARLEY DAVIDSON WILL BE NEXT, CHEATER!

Wife sells hubby's mistress' underpants
QUEENSLAND, Australia (UPI) -- A Queensland, Australia, woman said she is auctioning off underwear that was left at her home by her husband's alleged mistress.

The woman, who identified herself as Anna, said in the item's listing on eBay Australia the auction winner will get the "size humongous" pair of lacy black panties and a "size small" empty condom wrapper that her husband used for his alleged infidelity, the Melbourne Herald Sun reported.

"They are so huge I thought they may make someone a nice shawl or, even better, something for Halloween perhaps," Anna said of the underpants.

The seller said the auction will not be her last eBay-based attack against her allegedly cheating mate -- she said his Harley Davidson motorcycle will soon be up for auction with a starting price of less than a dollar.

FROM $3.89 TO 38 CENTS!

Malfunction sells gas at super bargain
SAN ANTONIO (UPI) -- A "pump malfunction" sold premium gasoline for 38 cents a gallon to lucky customers for several hours at a San Antonio convenience store, the manager says.

Jim Duke, manager of the Dill Food Mart, said he checked it out Thursday after watching an unusually large crowd gassing up at one particular pump Wednesday afternoon.

"I was inside and they were paying at the pump and nobody came in so nobody told me what was happening," Duke told WOAI-AM.

He found to his chagrin that "a decimal point had slipped" and instead of selling premium gas for $3.89 a gallon, the pump was dispensing it for 38 cents a gallon.

"We lost a lot of money," Duke said, although he wasn't sure how much.

Business was way down at that pump Thursday afternoon.

WEDDING RECEPTION GONE BAD

Bride and groom arrested at reception
LAKESIDE, Mich. (UPI) -- A wedding reception in Lakeside, Mich., ended with the bride and groom spending the night in separate jail cells after a melee, police said.

Investigators said Andy Somora, 29, and Anna Pastuszwska, 28, both formerly of Chicago, were shocked with police stun guns and arrested at the July 19 reception at Burnison Galleries after police officers from 14 departments were called to calm things down, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

"The short version of the story is they didn't want to quit their partying," said Mike Sepic, Berrien County's chief assistant prosecutor. "If you put this in the class of wedding receptions gone bad, I guess this would take the cake."

Somora's father, uncle, aunt and cousin also were arrested.

Somora pleaded guilty late last month to a felony charge of resisting and obstructing police. The groom, who also was charged with disturbing the peace, could face imprisonment at his Sept. 15 sentencing for the felony charge.

Pastuszwska pleaded guilty to a reduced charge after she was initially accused of resisting and obstructing. She was fined $600.

Crasher head-butted ball organizer
PORTREE, Scotland (UPI) -- A drunken gatecrasher at a black-tie ball has been convicted of assault after he head-butted an organizer of the Portree, Scotland, event.

Angus MacQueen, 34, was found guilty in Portree Sheriff Court of assault after he forced his way into the Skye Ball at the Sky Gathering Hall and head-butted organizer Alasdair Hilleary, 54, on his nose, The (Glasgow) Daily Record reported.

Hilleary told the court MacQueen "seemed to be spoiling for a fight."

"The head-butt caused quite a lot of blood but did not break my nose. I did not need medical attention. I stood my ground and did not respond," he said.

WHY DID YOU STEAL THAT TWO HEADED TURTLE?? TAKE IT BACK!

NYC turtlenapping: 1 count or 2?
NEW YORK (UPI) -- A Brooklyn, N.Y., pet-store owner is appealing to a shoplifter who made off with his two-headed turtle to bring back the missing reptile.

Sean Casey told the New York Post the turtle has special needs, such as having to be hand fed to prevent fights between heads over food.

The turtle disappeared Sunday from a tank at Casey's Hamilton Dog House while Casey was with a customer.

"I grew up in the neighborhood and I know most of the people here," he said. "I did not expect it in this neighborhood."

To add insult to injury, the Post said, Casey had to convince New York's finest over at the local precinct that he wasn't pulling their legs when he reported the theft.
