If you've been pulled over by the police you know it can be a stressful situation. You may say something stupid or like this guy, do something stupid. Perhaps the alcohol clouded his  ability to know the difference between a cell phone and a pack of smokes.

Britain’s Sun newspaper reports a drunk driver in Russia pulled over by police tried to make a call with a pack of cigarettes he thought was his cell.

Cops pulled over the would-be Marlboro Man after noticing he was driving erratically. When they stopped his vehicle, the man pretended his hand was a cell phone and he began trying to yak away.

When the driver correctly realized his hand does not have any sort of 3G capability, he reached into his pocket and scooped out a pack of cigarettes, which he proceeded to treat like the newest iPhone by calling a friend to ask for help.

Cops, meanwhile, stood by watching in disbelief. Eventually, the driver wrapped up his pseudo-conversation by telling the imaginary person on the line to “just deal with the situation.” He then hung up before passing out.

A bus driver working in Rome Italy was suspended after someone filmed him trying to configure his e-mail while using two cell phones and steering with his elbows. He was driving passengers to the airport. I wonder if more people on that bus had a fear of flying or a fear of bus drivers.

According to The New York Times, the driver was employed by a subcontractor “with its own management and board,” meaning it’s not positive that driving the bus with his elbows was actually grounds for being fired. Really?

The White House on Saturday (May 7th) released five clips of Osama bin Laden that were found in the raid on his compound, most of them showing the al-Qaida leader rehearsing the videotaped speeches he would periodically release. Although bin Laden's beard was dyed black in most of them, one clip showed him gray-bearded, sitting in a room while wearing a blanket and ski cap and watching videos of himself. The U.S. said it removed the videos' sound so as not to transmit bin Laden's propaganda. U.S. officials also said that the material retrieved from the compound strengthened the belief that bin Laden was a lot more involved in planning and directing al-Qaida operations than had been thought over the last decade. A defense official said it suggests he was giving strategic direction to the al-Qaida affiliates in Somalia and Yemen as well. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon said Sunday (May 8th) that the material seized from the compound is the largest amount of intelligence ever gathered from a single terrorist, and is about the size of a small college library.

5. She Has To Be Perma-Poised In Public. We're thankful that we only need to untag a Facebook photo or two to erase any evidence that we were a tad wobbly at 2 am after one too many glasses of chardonnay. If Kate is photographed tipsy and squinty-eyed, she'll have everyone from Martin Bashir to the Queen on her case.
