The woman accused of spraying fellow Walmart customers with pepper-spray on Black Friday turned herself into police on Sunday. (She said she didn't use pepper spray, but was wearing a heavy layer of Snooki's new perfume)

Earlier than ever store openings on Black Friday were such a hit that traditional Black Friday hours may be a thing of the past (Which is great...my pepper spray aim is so much better at night)

A 34-year old British man has fathered 15 children by 13 different women with two more on the way. (I didn't know Kevin Federline was British!)

We're Big, and That's Normal

A new Gallup survey found Americans report weighing 20 pounds more than they did 20 years ago. That means 196 pounds for men, and 160 pounds for women on average. Thankfully the idea of an "ideal weight" has also changed -- up to 181 pounds for men and 138 pounds for women. But even so, we don't care. Most Americans think their weight is "just right.

Question: If we raised the standard for the "ideal weight," what other "standards" should we adjust?

- 10 items in the express lane should be adjusted to 17
- Standard tip rate lowered to 3%...unless they draw a smiley face on the bill
- Engagement ring cost - What used to be 3-months salary should fall to a week and a half.

4-Year Old Gets Lifetime Ban for Shoplifting

Savannah Harp is only four but has already been banned from a grocery store! You see, little Savannah grabbed a box of apricots, munched a few, and then put the box back on the shelf without her father ever knowing. Thankfully, the security guard witnessed crime himself and sprang into action!

He called the girl and her father into his office and made her sign a paper banning her for life from all Safeway grocery stores. He added that charges would be filed, as well.

The girls mom told the ABC affiliate in Seattle: "He told them, ‘Your daughter stole and she's banned from the store, and we're pressing charges. And she needs to sign this form saying she understands she can't come into any Safeways."

Thankfully, Safeway officials stepped in and fired the security guard and the apologized to the family. Rumor has it he's working for TSA :)

Question:
-Ever been "banned for life" from somewhere?
-Ever notice once you got home that your child ripped something off from the store?

What is the worst thing you've ever witnessed a co-worker do? That was what a staffing company wanted to find out in their latest survey, and the results are out. Their survey of 430 U.S. office workers discovered some of the worst office courtesy blunders -- including:

* A worker throwing papers into the air while while collaborating on a project and shouting "forget this!"

* A worker snapping a picture of a coworker sleeping at her desk, and then sending to the boss

* A coworker was spotted purposefully sneezing into the boss' coffee

* Stealing lunches

* Clipping their nails at their desk

* Walking around the office barefoot

* Shouting at customers

* Mocking the work of other employees in public

What's the worst office blunder you have witnessed? What is it you wish your coworkers would just stop doing?

Joke of the Day

Three nuns on a train had been getting to know one another and decided to tell each other their greatest sins. The first nun says, "My greatest sin is men! Every year I go out for a week and work at a dance club to meet men. Of course, I put all the money I earn into the poor box."

The second nun says, "My greatest sin is drinking. Every year I take the money from the poor box and go out drinking for a solid week."

The third nun just sits there quietly. Finally, the first nun says to her, "Come on, we've told you our worst sins. Now you have to tell us yours."

The third nun says, "My greatest sin is that I gossip and I can't wait to get off this train!"
