Bad for Business

Another Friday has come and the I have been noticing a number of stories of the "lesser reported" variety that has to do with how people are trying to make money.  Unfortunately, there seems to be a trend this week of entrepreneurs that really have no business, what-so-ever...being in business.  Our stories this week, show that not all roads lead to riches. In fact, some lead to the local jailhouse.

Here a Tip, Don't Rob a Bank

A firefighter has been arrested after allegedly robbing a Dallas bank, then giving $20 of the stolen funds back to the teller as a tip.

Jesus Ventura, has been charged with robbing a Chase Bank on April 10, according to U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldana.
Last Friday, Ventura entered the bank and reportedly said, "Give me all the money," multiple times to the teller before the teller gave Ventura the money. After receiving the funds, Ventura took a $20 bill and slid it back under the glass to the teller, saying, "Here is a tip for you."

Dallas police later arrested Ventura when he allegedly attempted to rob a second business. Officers recovered the black backpack containing the money from the Chase Bank robbery.

Ventura was already on administrative leave from his job for allegedly bringing a  loaded, semi-automatic rifle into the fire station. 

For all it's worth, it is never a good idea to rob a bank but it is a good idea to tip for good customer service.  I did find it interesting though, the article said he had to ask numerous time for the money before the teller gave it to him AND she still got a tip???? What's up with that???


Being the Butt of the Joke



call me crazy, but does this bode well for the results one
might expect from Oneals injections?  Holy Buckets!!!
  Seriously, I am talking about the BUTT of the joke.  I have heard the story several times this week about the woman that was arrested for setting up a business to inject friends, acquaintances, idiots, and anyone with no self-respect but has a little cash, with "substances" to enhance their behinds.  These substances consisted of flat-tire sealant, glue, caulk and cement. As these injections don't set well with the AMA or local law enforcement,  Oneal Ron Morris was arrested on numerous charges including practicing medicine without a license.




Oneal is a man that identifies himself as a woman and has a history of related charges in other counties in Florida. Thursday, he/she entered a plea of not guilty in Broward County.

Considering, I don't let someone cut my hear if their hair looks bad, I don't think I am up to get my butt enhanced by Oneal.  I think this dude really knows how to turn the phrase "Junk in the trunk" into reality.


You Kept the Doctor Waiting

You are probably thinking I typed that incorrectly.  No...for a change, it is not the patient being kept waiting by the doctor. 
A Russian doctor, disgruntled by a 20 minute inconvenience at a car dealership, went on a rampage destroying several cars and demolishing a showroom floor, police said.

A 35-year-old obstetrician initially waited calmly in a reception area but after a 20 minute wait, he became increasingly angry until his temper reached a boiling point. Rather than seek out an employee for assistance, the man went outside and got into the dealership's loaner car.

Video surveillance cameras inside the dealership captured the Grand Vitara burst through a showroom window and smash into several vehicles on display. The car, which looked more like a motorized battering ram, repeatedly smashed the cars, a structural support pillar and miscellaneous showroom items. This destruction continued until the vehicle became wedged in an office at the back of the showroom. At that point security guards pulled the man from the vehicle and restrained him until police arrived on the scene.

The doctor faces a variety of criminal charges and is currently on house arrest.





One of the best parts to this story, is when the employee knocks on the raging doc's window...what do you think he is saying????  Maybe " How may I help you?  Are you looking to buy or lease?"


Here Comes the Ice Cream Truck

Police stopped the ice cream truck at Bayswater Court and Sheffield Circle in Waldorf, MD. They found the marijuana and cash in the driver's  underwear. (Hopefully, that wasn't the first place they looked.)

He apparently had been dealing from the truck for some time, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.

"We wish we got that call just a bit sooner so we could have found more drugs, but what we did find was significant enough to show that he had been dealing it, and for us, we’re removing a drug dealer off the streets," Richardson said.
Hoskins was selling to teens and young adults through word of mouth, authorities said.
He was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
Hoskins is out on bond and out of business, authorities said. He won’t be selling ice cream again anytime soon.



So, my bloggee friends, have you had any dealings with "bad business" practices this week that caused you to drive through buildings or seek the services of daffy docs?
