LAUGHING BANK TELLER FOILS HOLDUP

HOLDUP,  hilarious.
A bank teller in Southeast Texas thwarted an attempted robbery when she read the holdup note and burst into laughter.

ORIOLES ACE COULD BE CHARGED WITH MURDER

BALTIMORE Orioles star hurler Alfredo Simon may be charged with murder this week, law enforcement officials in the Dominican Republic say. Simon is suspected of shooting to death Michael Castillo, 25, and wounding his cousin in Puerto Plata on New Year's Day. Simon has already reached an out of court settlement with the victim's family in return for them dropping wrongful death. But... authorities say there is enough to go to trial for murder.
Simon, 29, was sprung  March 3 on involuntary homicide charges and paying about $50,000 in bail. His defence is that it's a Dominican cultural tradition to fire your gun into the air on New Year's Eve. 

The Orioles have placed the rightie on their restricted list. However, the team's website says: "Simon is unlikely to pitch in 2011 due to off-the-field issues." Indeed.
