(Cleveland, OH)
Parma resident Drew Carey, the assistant
director of Personnel for the Winfred-Louder
Department store recently won a contest whose
first prize was a choice of $250,000 or
ownership of the Batmobile. Drew refused the
cash and took the car. After a slight setback
when Drew's goofy friends Lewis and Oswald,
stole the Batmobile to cruise to the local
mall dressed as Batman and Robin, Drew took a
test spin in his roadster. Unfortunately, a
few days later, Drew lost the right to own the
Batmobile because he inadvertently violated
one of the contract rules, namely "defiling
the Batmobile. " It appears that Drew and his
girlfriend were caught by the police parked in
lover-lanes. Their carrying-on "in a sexual
manner" inside the Batmobile violated a moral
clause buried within the contest contract that
forbade such acts. Revocation of ownership was
swift.

tipping back the bottle, has once again been
arrested for public intoxication. He has been
given a few hours in jail to sober up. Deputy

feels he can just check himself in and out of
the jail like it was some kind of hotel or
something. Sheriff Andy Taylor, on the other

and move on with his life. In the meantime,
