This story might be more appropriate in the Gun Thread since it deals with concealed carry possibilities but I'll put it here.

JUNE 14--A woman who had a loaded handgun hidden in her vagina at the time of her arrest last year has been sentenced to two years in state prison on weapons and heroin possession charges, Illinois court records show.

Anika Witt, 27, was sentenced last month after pleading guilty to a pair of felony charges as part of a plea agreement that required her to testify against a codefendant.

Jailed since her arrest last September, Witt faced a maximum of ten years on the gun charge and 15 years for narcotics possession. While sentenced to two years in state prison, Witt has been credited for the eight months she spent in the McLean County lockup.

Witt and a male acquaintance were busted following a traffic stop on Interstate 55 just north of Bloomington. A search of the duo’s car turned up heroin and Ecstasy, cops reported.

Witt’s .380 caliber Kimber handgun was not discovered by investigators until she was subjected to a strip search while being booked into the county jail. A female corrections officer recovered the loaded weapon from Witt’s vagina. The gun had a bullet in the chamber and its magazine was fully loaded, police say.

The gun seized from Witt is seen in the above police evidence photo.

Witt, pictured below, was transferred late last month from the McLean County jail to the Logan Correctional Center, a state prison housing more than 1800 female inmates.

Illinois Department of Corrections records list Witt’s “projected discharge date” as September 7, 2019.

Was that Freudian or intentional?  (The character from the Sopranos was named Pu$$y and was shot.)

Glad someone got it. BTW, when you Google “Big Pussy” a lot of disturbing images come up before you get to Sopranos characters.

".380 caliber Kimber handgun....The gun had a bullet in the chamber and its magazine was fully loaded."

...but was she carrying it in Condition 1 or 0?  Now that would be pretty ballsey.  

ATIS

 

For ref:

Condition 3: Chamber empty, full magazine in place, hammer down. Condition 2: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer down. Condition 1: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer cocked, safety on. Condition 0: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer cocked, safety off.

I find it tragic that this dolt was granted an appointment to West Point which in turn denied someone who loves their country the same appointment.

Two different items. The first is a link for how BMI is an inaccurate scale. The other follows the PT Barnum saying "There is a sucker born every minute."

Performance Artist Separates Money From Dupes With $38 Bottles of Miracle 'Hot Dog Water'

Here’s something to give even Goop’s “bio-frequency healing” stickers a run for the money of various rubes: A Canadian man successfully sold slickly marketed bottles of water with hot dogs in them as a miraculous cure-all for whatever ails customers at exorbitant prices.

Per Yahoo News and Insider, at Vancouver’s Car-Free Day festival earlier this month, attendees happily bought $38 bottles of unfiltered Hot Dog Water marketed with bullshit claims it could “help restore the body’s homeostasis after a electrolyte imbalance” as well as help users “lose weight—increase brain function—look younger—increase vitality.”

 

“Self-styled Hot Dog Water CEO Douglas Bevans,” who is actually a tour operator and artist, told Global News that the obviously falsified claims were part of an intentional, good-natured awareness-raising stunt and “really sort of a commentary on product marketing, and especially sort of health-quackery product marketing.” Labels on the bottles segued from a rambling anecdote about the water’s supposed origin in a 50,000-year-old, lava rock-filtered spring to fine print reading “Hot Dog Water in its absurdity hopes to encourage critical thinking related to product marketing and the significant role it can play in our purchasing choices.” 

But some people that failed to catch on to the joke soon found themselves walking away with a bottle of meat-infused H2O and a lot less cash on hand.

 

Per Insider, it seems like Bevans’ snake oil salesman impression was spot on:

Hot Dog Water, unfiltered, promises to be Keto compatible, help you lose weight, increase your brain function, make you look younger, and improve your vitality.

Hot Dog Water CEO Douglas Bevans told Global News, “the protein of the Hot Dog Water helps your body uptake the water content, and the sodium and all the things you’d need post-workout.”

He added, “We’ve created a recipe, having a lot of people put a lot of effort into research and a lot of people with backgrounds in science creating the best version of Hot Dog Water that we could.”

It worked, too. Bevans told Global News that he spent around $1,200 on the stunt before counting $500 in grants, but that sales were strong: “They’ve been drinking it for hours. We have gone through about 60 litres of real hot dog water.” According to the Times Colonist, he also offered other hot dog-infused products like lip balm that attracted a similar customer interest:

“We noticed that some people were rubbing lip balm on their crow’s feet and they were swearing their crow’s feet were disappearing before their eyes,” he said.

One man who rubbed the lip balm on his “dome” sent him photos suggesting it promoted hair growth, Bevans said.

“I think we all feel particularly vulnerable in this era of pseudo-scientific health claims and the targeted marketing of social media,” Bevans told Ad Age via Twitter. “The message is the next time you have the urge to buy the latest quantum toilet paper or Gwyneth’s magical health stickers, take a moment to reflect and ask yourself, is this Hot Dog Water?”

In any case, the only things that seem to stand between Hot Dog Water and potentially limitless profit are ethics, venture capital, and maybe also waterborne pathogens. Those are solvable obstacles, though, as proven by the continued success of the rich idiots responsible for “raw water.”

I was in ATL Tuesday when this happened...it was damn hot there!  This dude had to be rethinking his choice of clothing running around that pavement, climbing on the airplane, and eventually laying down.  Ouch!!

 rethinking his choice 

Probably not much thinking going on between them ears in the first place, much less room to REthink something.
