Going to odious lengths for love

Desperate? Or downright stupid?

 

I just read a story on Yahoo! News about a woman who dialed 911 to hook up with a guy. C’mon I’ve heard of dating services but this is ridiculous.

 

Apparently, 911 police thought so, too.

 

See, the woman initially called 911 for a legit cause – and naturally, a policeman came to check on her concern. Immediately, she thought the officer was HAWT.

 

And after the incident, she decides to call 911 again – but this time, to ask for the policeman’s name, apparently hoping she may get him to come back to her house. And he did… but only to arrest her for “taking up valuable time from dispatchers who could be taking true emergency calls.”

 

The woman was then charged with “misuse of the emergency dispatch system,” and sentenced “to a year in jail and a 6,000-dollar fine.”

 

Wow. I know I’d do for love what I won’t normally do, but this.is.stupid. REALLY.

 

But then again no one is really sure what goes on in another person’s mind.

 

This story now sorta reminds me of an anecdote I heard some years back.

 

There was this man who attended a funeral. He saw a woman and immediately fell in love. Just as he was about to make his move, another man suddenly appeared beside the woman and kissed her.

 

The next day, that man who kissed the woman was found dead.

 

Naturally, the killer was caught by the police. Question is, why do YOU think the man committed the murder? Now, think real hard before you answer – as if trying to get inside the killer’s mind…

 

Now, most of us would say, it’s jealousy that pushed the other guy to kill his “rival.” But, for the killer, his reason was simple: he killed the guy so that there would be another funeral where he would get a chance to see the woman again.

 

Genius? Out-of-the-box? Or plain psychotic?

 

And if you’re one of those who just whispered “YES! I knew it!” to yourself, and figured out why the killer committed the crime, then do me a favor, will you? Click on my Contacts and delete yourself from the list – you’re one of the ingenious, SICK minds who walk the earth, ready to coldly plot and actually execute a murder over the most mundane of things… even over something as fleeting as love.
