I couldn't decide what thread this belonged under. Let's hear your suggestions:
CRESTVIEW -- An intoxicated woman told police to arrest her after she admitted to throwing a closed pocket knife at her husband's forehead.
The 23-year-old woman also told them she was a nymphomaniac and an alcoholic and that her estranged husband had been staying with her for a week, ever since she asked him over to have sex and he never left.
This story appears to be a corollary of the naked thread's premise: certain words ensure that a story will run. In this case, the maxim might be "if it gets drunk and [word that rhymes with "blues"], it's news." In the end, it's simply confirmation that cops don't get paid too well, but have the best stories.
