Nevermind the intrusiveness of inspecting lunchboxes, the lunch itself sounded pretty normal to me and close to what I send my kids to school with. Some people just weren't born to think on their own and those folks should not be allowed to be in any position that requires judgment ...

The note explained how students who did not bring “healthy lunches” would be offered the missing portions and that parents could be charged for the cost of the cafeteria food, the Journal reports.

It was an offer she couldn't refuse.

Dum.

Not sure how this proves Karma exists, though- if it had been a Yugo, it still would have gotten stuck. Probably would have just paved over it, though.

I think Karma is more related to the driver than the vehicle, the porsche is just the ahole playing to stereotype.

The driver tried to sneak through a construction zone, that's where the karma comes in I suppose. Doesn't matter what kind of car it is.

One thing is for sure, that poor car will never be the same again...

Man saws off own foot to continue receiving unemployment benefits
