BRICKBATS

Police in Bedfordshire, England, were mocked on Twitter after posting a picture of a flintlock pistol they seized during a drug raid. The photo of the pistol showed that it had no trigger and no hammer.

David and Paula Knight were dumbfounded when they received a ticket for driving in a bus lane written on it walking in the lane. Somehow, her shirt had been confused with the Knights’ license plate, which reads “KN19 TER.”
