Where's the honeymoon, a dumpster? Oh, it is!


Match made in a homeless shelter

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Two central Illinois volunteers have tied the knot in the place they first met: a homeless shelter.

Joyce and Joe Reynolds were married Saturday at the Washington Street Mission in Springfield.

On the first day they met at the mission, Joyce Reynolds says she mistook her future husband for a homeless man seeking shelter.

About 100 people, including the homeless who rely on the shelter, attended Saturday’s wedding.

Couple really gets down 'n' dirty

SAANICH, B.C. - A Saanich, B.C., police officer who responded to a suspicious persons call probably wishes he hadn't after he stumbled upon two naked adults in a garbage dumpster.

The officer was called to a local parking lot early Friday morning, where he heard noises coming from the bin. He called out to the people inside but when no one responded, he approached the dumpster.

The 30-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man were oblivious to his presence.

The two adults were ordered to put their clothes on and get out of the dumpster.

The woman was told to go home, while the man was arrested on an unrelated matter.

Okay, so the two stories are unrelated. The couple in the first story sound like two great people who are willing to give to others while the second two sounds like dirty, rotten scoundrels. But can you imagine if they were the same? That would be the best story ever.

Also, I'd like to know what the unrelated charge was that the guy got arrested on. Any guy who would do the humpty dance in a dumpster has to be doing some pretty nefarious stuff on the daily.
