The tip-off was the sunglasses.  A New Yorker faces a $135 traffic fine for using a mannequin as her "plus one" in the high-occupancy vehicle lane of the Long Island Expressway.  An alert sheriff's deputy on Long Island became suspicious this week when he saw the "passenger" wearing sunglasses and using the visor. The problem: The sky was overcast.  When he stopped the vehicle, he found the mannequin, fully dressed with a long dark wig, blazer, shirt and scarf.  ***MARLAR: The driver said it was an honest mistake as he thought his plastic mannequin was actually Cher.

Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Mark Sandford and Tiger Woods walk into a bar and there's one woman there.    

Edwards says, "I'm trying to look better in the public eye - can't do it."

Sandford says, "I've got this hot latin babe. I've gotta pass."

Tiger says, "Next time Elin's using a 2 iron and aiming lower. Can't risk it."

Clinton breaks out into a broad smile and turns to his secret service agents: "Boys - make sure Hillary's still in Afghanistan."

Morning rush hour took an alarming turn Monday as a single-engine plane made an emergency landing on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Neither the pilot nor his passenger, a traffic reporter for Philadelphia media outlets, was injured.

When NJ State Troopers arrived on the scene, they immediately arrested the pilot… because he was black. 

David Brown, the producer of the blockbuster film 'Jaws' has passed away.  Mr. Brown will be buried at sea in a large gray casket fitted with a giant dorsal fin.

Actor Rip Torn – best known for his roles in Men in Black and Dodgeball – has been released on bail and will enter rehab after his arrest for breaking into a bank in Connecticut while armed with a gun. 

According to court reports, Torn, 78, was allegedly so intoxicated that he believed he was at home and had left his hat and boots by the door.

He was arrested on Friday night after he was found inside the Litchfield Bancorp bank with a loaded revolver.

Torn was charged with burglary, criminal trespass and weapons offenses, but was released on $100,000 bail and ordered to undergo alcohol rehabilitation.

Apparently, if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge prison! 

Police say a lumber truck crashed into a Massachusetts home after the driver was knocked unconscious on chili from Wendy’s. Lowell police say the man reported that he chocked on the chili when the truck hit a bump, causing him to pass out. The police searched the truck and found no evidence of the chili. When confronted with this news, the trucker admitted that he didn’t choke on the chili; he passed out while chocking his chili.

He’s likely to face tough questions: How to create jobs? How to pass healthcare legislation? What, pray tell, was Lady Gaga wearing to the Grammy’s?
