World news is seriously entertaining us lately. Take, for example, yesterday’s account from Australia of a drunk woman who freaked after almost hitting a cop car in a gas station parking lot, so she set her own car on fire:

“Police said officers had stopped for fuel at a Batemans Bay service station in New South Wales just late on Saturday when their car was nearly hit by a woman reversing her vehicle.

“Police asked her to get of her car but she allegedly drove off.

“A short time later police responded to reports of a car in a ditch, which they allege the driver had set alight (Ed’s Note: ‘alight’ is kangaroo talk for ‘on fire’ ) . The number plates had also been removed, police said.”

To make matters even more awesome the police found the driver near the scene — presumably because she torched her only method of transportation — and she blew a 0.155.

And chicks act all offended when we categorically describe their gender as “crazy”. Yet overreactions like this are the norm. Wasn’t it pretty obvious that the police weren’t going to track her down when they were already too fucking lazy to even follow her out of the gas station parking lot? What did she think, they boomeranged a LoJack onto her bumper?

At least it makes for a great story. It’s not that often you read about someone ensuring that they get a DUI by taking measures to prevent themselves from getting a DUI. We’re not real big on dictionaries but that sounds like the definition of irony.
