A Tennessee man and his son were so upset that a Memphis drive-through forgot to include an order of chicken wings that they allegedly returned with an AK-47.

A tiger briefly escaped from a Kansas circus and gave a patron quite a scare when it wandered into the ladies’ room.

Krehbiel said that when she told her 3-year-old daughter that she’d encountered a tiger in the bathroom, the girl asked if the tiger “had washed its hands.”
