I'm sure you have heard of one of the many "guy walks into a bar jokes" before. Here is one to refresh your memory:

A man walks into a bar and sees a bunch of meat hanging from the ceiling. The bartender tells him if he can jump up and touch the meat, he will get free drinks all night. If he misses, he has to buy everyone in the bar a drink.

The man looks at the meat, looks at the bartender, looks back at the meat, and says...

"Nah, those steaks are too high."

According to the Michigan State Police Alpena Post, on August 31, a Tennessee man was riding his motorcycle in Alpena County to visit his Michigan girlfriend when he got pulled over for speeding. That is not a story but what he was carrying became one.

The 56-year-old guy was riding the motorcycle from Tennessee to Alpena and had a backpack strapped to the gas tank with a .45 caliber inside but didn't have a CPL. Wait...there's more, he had a chihuahua tucked away in his jacket. Long story short, the guy was arrested and hauled off to the county but the good news is the chihuahua was released on good behavior to the girlfriend. Folks, you can't make this stuff up.
