Meme gets man fired
A man claimed he got fired because he posted a meme on Facebook about Elmo from Sesame Street, but the company disputes that.
The meme said, "Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time." The man said his boss saw the post and quickly texted him saying, "Why don't you stay home and do your business from now on?"
The man texted back, asking if he was fired but never got a response, but the company said he wasn't. They said the man worked two days after he posted the meme and then quit on his own.
A spicy spot for hiding drugs!
An Australian police department found more than $200 million worth of meth hiding inside hundreds of Sriracha bottles. The boxes were sent from the United States to Sydney, Australia.
Four people were arrested for this incident, but their names have not been released. Investigators think those four are part of a larger network of drug smugglers.
Man had marijuana stuck in his nose
An Australian man said he had a piece of marijuana stuck up his nose for more than 18 years.
The weed initially got stuck in his nose on purpose. He jammed it in his nostril to smuggle the drug into prison.
He later thought he had swallowed the nuggets but started getting headaches and blocked sinuses. A cat scan revealed 18 years later that the pot was still lodged in his nose.
He had surgery to remove it.
