DRIFFIELD, England (Wireless Flash - FlashNews) Would you like porn with that? Cops in Driffield, England, have shut down a shady fast food business operating out of a van that offered free porn DVDs to customers who spent $6 or more on beer and burgers from the joint. The burger and porn slangers were trying to appeal to hungry and horny dudes leaving nearby bars and clubs at night, but werent licensed to sell food, or dirty DVDs for that matter.ST. LOUIS A worker for the pet waste removal service, DoodyCalls, recently came into some cash while on the crappy job. Pooper scooper Steve Wilson was picking up dog poop as usual when he noticed money sticking out of some doody. He wound up finding $58 packed in poop, but kindly pulled out the bills, sanitized them, and gave them to the owner of the money-crapping pooch.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. New buns for bratwurst invented by a third-grader from Wisconsin are selling like hotcakes. Nine-year- old Sydney Claxton came up with the idea to create curved bread buns to better fit the shape of a bratwurst for a school fair. Now, his product Sydneys Curvy Brat Buns are being sold in packs of five for $2.50 a pop at a local market and are rapidly flying off the shelves.

Cops are closely monitoring a turf war among ice cream vendors who are fighting over areas to park their popsicles at. The war recently came to blows when one ice cream vendor tired to assault another for posting up in his territory. Clearly, he was no Good Humor man.
