Odd News Report – Texas Edition (weird) [STRANGE NEWS]

And now it’s time for the Odd News Report – Texas Edition

Don’t go messing with Texas grandmas! A pair of would-be criminals donned clown masks and pulled a machete on a grandmother and a gentleman sitting in a truck in their driveway in Texas City.

The man grabbed the machete and took it from the first guy while the grandmother clocked the other one with a child’s scooter.

As the machete brothers tried to escape in their car, grandma broke one of their windows into a million pieces when she threw the child’s scooter at their vehicle.

“I broke the scooter in half,” gram said as the police nabbed the crooks.

Are you tired of your current car but lack the funds to get a new one? Consider the strategy employed by a Dallas man recently.

He parked his 2007 Chevrolet Suburban on the street in affluent Highland Park in Dallas County.

As casual as a chicken walking in to the coop, he sauntered over to a Ferrari parked in a driveway, opened the door and got in. He started it up and drove away.

See how much easier that is than dealing with payments?

“Sire, I think we can get our price down to $300,000 on the Ferrari and offer you $1000 for the Chevy. That gets you to $299,000 overall. What do you say?”

“I say I’m just going to drive it off the lot. But y’all can keep my Chevy for free. Thanks, guys.”

Meanwhile, over in Atascocita near Houston, a pair of local ranchers decided to test Petco’s policy of allowing all pets in the store as long as they are on a leash.

They put a leash on Oliver, a full-grown African Watusi, and walked him in to a local Petco. Picture this giant, red-colored, steer with huge horns—the African Watusi has the largest circumference horns of any cattle breed on planet Earth—sauntering up next to you while you are looking over the shelves for the right kind of kibbles and bits for your cat Mr. Whiskers.

And this isn’t in some remote store in a small town in the middle of nowhere. This is just outside of Houston, one of the biggest cities in the United States.

But, of course, this is Texas, and no one batted an eye. In fact, Oliver was calm as a leaf on lake on a day with no wind and walked easily up and down the aisles without incident.

The only thing that would have made it better is if they started offering rides to kids on Oliver—ten bucks for one spin around the store
