Man Who Drove School Bus for 55 Years Honored With School Bus Casket; Commuter Fakes the Coronavirus, Now Faces Seven Years in Jail; and Father Tries to Honor Son With Tattoo, Gets the Year Wrong.
Glen Davis was well-known in Grand Meadow, Minnesota for the 55 years he spent as a school bus driver. He talked about how he never once got in an accident and how this was one of his favorite jobs he’d ever held.
His work didn’t go unnoticed. Jim Hindt, the owner of a local funeral home, decided to make sure that when Davis went out, he went out in a style that most befitted all of the years of dedication to his job. Talk about the ultimate in funeral insurance! He had a custom school bus casket built for Davis.
Davis was able to see the casket before his death, and he told the Post Bulletin, “Oh, good gosh, I cried a few times.” His daughter said, “my dad says all it is missing is an emergency exit door!”
Driving children safely around his small town meant the world to Davis. The kids happily referred to him as “Glennie.”
He will be laid to rest on Friday at the Catholic Church where he spent time volunteering for years.

A Russian man has been charged with “premeditated hooliganism” after he boarded a commuter train wearing a mask and pretended to be sick. In front of the train packed with passengers, he fell to the floor and pretended to have a “coronavirus attack.”
That’s when one of his friends screamed out, “Coronavirus!” as they filmed the event.
What he intended as an admittedly bad joke to air on social media may now cost him several years in prison. While he initially faced a charge of just plain hooliganism, prosecutors upgraded the charge to premeditated hooliganism.
In Russia, hooliganism carries a criminal offense charge and is considered a catch-all for prosecuting unapproved behavior. He and his friends probably should have sought lawyer advice before moving forward with their plans.

Gavin Sharples, 34, wanted to do what many fathers before him have done–get a tattoo in honor of his son, Archie. He said that when he first booked the appointment, “I said I would like Archie’s name and date of birth.”
“At first, I got the year wrong and said 2019, but my fiancee corrected me and told them it’s actually 2018.” His fiancée, Samantha, was getting a tattoo in honor of her late father.
“So, we attended the appointment and Sam went first with no problems. It was me up next and the tattooist put a print on my arm and I said it looked perfect, not realizing the year of the birth was wrong.”
“After the tattoo was finished, I still didn’t notice.” It wasn’t until he posted his new tattoo on social media that one of his friends pointed out the obvious, saying, “Gav, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but wasn’t Archie born in 2018?”
Gavin revealed to LADbible that as soon as his fiancée, family, and friends found out about what happened, they couldn’t help but laugh so hard “they nearly passed out.” He ended up deleting the post that showed his tattoo in embarrassment.
“The tattoo will be corrected as soon as it’s healed, so end of next week, hopefully,” said Gavin.
