DON'T LEAVE US HANGING: Randy Wood, 33, of West Monroe, N.Y., called his
ex-wife and asked her to come over to see something. When she arrived
she found him hanging by his neck from a tree in his front yard. Wood
was safely secured in a lineman's harness and was neither dead nor
dying, but before he could yell "April Fool!" his ex had called 911 and
a rescue crew was on the way. Sheriff's deputies cited him with
"falsely reporting an incident" and he faces up to a year in jail.
"Obviously, it's not a funny matter," said Sheriff Reuel Todd. (AP)
...Sure it is: he gave her a great idea.
