In late May and June, the outcome's not as expected; it's better. Destiny calls you in July, and new skills lead to great new friends around September.

A Sacramento sheriffs deputy was sent to seize a home -- in the posh gated community of Rancho Murieta -- of a couple going through a divorce. He changed all the locks, and posted a sign that the house was now "the property of the United States government." Alas, he seized the wrong house.

The cops went to his home where they found a street sign -- stolen from the crime scene by the vandals -- hanging on his wall. He was arrested. ATTA BOY, GET THE DUMMY, CHOMP!
