One interesting story is about a farmer. His land was in the path of an eminent domain project for a new highway. But he had a bunch of really goofy - looking scarecrows on his land.

This shows how little things can lead to such comical situations. It also reminds us to be more careful, especially when we are half - asleep in the morning and doing routine things like making coffee.
