"For the last time, turn out the damned light when you leave a room"

An 81-year-old man in Texas is accused of murdering his roommate with a shotgun after he made a rude comment toward him before calmly calling 911 to report what he did — telling the dispatcher “nah, he’s dead” after being asked whether the victim was possibly still breathing, cops say.

  3. Many, MANY moons ago, I shared a house with a recently divorced guy. He was living alone prior to that.
    He would get so IRATE at me for harping on closing doors and turning off lights (would literally turn on every light moving from one end of the house to the other, then leave them burning after he returned).
    When I moved in, it was mid-cycle for the power bill. The very next cycle there was a power rate increase.
    That first full month power bill at the new, higher rate was LOWER than the previous bill where I had been present for only HALF the cycle.
    He quit leaving lights on!

  4. Two guys out hunting. One calls 911 and says "oh my god, I just shot my friend, I think he's dead." The dispatcher says "did you make sure he's dead?" The dispatcher hears a shot and the guy comes back on and says "well he is now. Now what?"
