A Woman calls 911 because she locked herself inside her car
An elderly couple in New Zealand almost died the other day because they got trapped inside their new car. They weren't really trapped.
All they had to do was open the door using the handle.
But the car had keyless entry, and they had dropped the remote outside, and they thought they couldn't open the door without the remote.
A neighbor found them after 13 hours, with one of them unconscious and the other having trouble breathing.
A few years ago a woman in Kissimmee, Florida called 911 to tell them she'd locked herself in her car.
The confused 911 operator asked if the woman had tried pulling the lock up on the door, which the woman apparently had not thought of.
The door immediately opened, and the woman apologized to the 911 operator.

Four Things That Make You More Likely to Catch a Cold on a Plane
It's a myth that people catch more colds on planes because of bad air circulation. In most planes, the air filters catch about 95% of the germs. And there's a total changeover in air every two or three minutes.
But you are more likely to get sick from TOUCHING stuff. Here are four things that make you more likely to catch a cold on an plane.
1. Sitting in an aisle seat. The outside armrest and the top of the seat have more germs than other seats, because people touch them as they walk by.
2. Using the bathroom. It's the most germ-filled spot on the plane. So if you do use it, make sure you wash your hands for at least 20 seconds afterward.
3. Using your tray table. They're not cleaned between flights, so they're usually covered in bacteria. The best thing to do is not even use it. Or wipe it down with an alcohol-based hand wipe before you do.
4. Sitting within a two-seat radius of someone who's sick. In a recent study, people were 8% more likely to catch someone's cold if they were less than three seats away.

Mama June says it ain’t happenin’ even for a zillion dollars
