This is True

Oh, No No No — After You!

Ricky D. Larson was found shot to death near the city limits of La Crosse, Wisc. And that’s just the problem: local law enforcement officials aren’t sure if he was shot in the city limits, or across the border in the town of Onalaska. It makes a difference since the former is the district of the city police, and the latter would be the responsibility of the county sheriff. Neither agency is particularly eager to pay the costs of the murder investigation. Surveyors are being brought in to see exactly where the city limits are. (AP) ...My guess: he was lying on the line.
