A Utah man missed the birth of his child when he was arrested for allegedly groping a nurse outside the delivery room. Adam Manning, 30, rushed his partner to the hospital when she went into labor, but then, police said, Manning told a nurse wheeling the woman into the delivery room that she was “cute,” attempted to give her a neck massage, and finally grabbed her breast. The nurse then called the police. “Obviously he wasn’t there for the birth of his child,” said a police spokesman.

Now, says Barghouti, he uses hair coloring to zebrafy donkeys, to the delight of local children. “The children don’t know so they call them zebras,” said Barghouti. “They are happy to see something new.”
