Take a Flying Leap

Cook County (Ill.) Judge Michael Murphy is unhappy with Paul Iverson. Neighbors complained that the Arlington Heights man had too much junk in his yard. Despite removing “30 truckloads” of junk, the judge says it’s not enough and is fining the man $500 a day until he complies with the court’s order. The fine so far: $49,000, and the judge hints jail may be next. Judge Murphy was not amused by one attempt Iverson made to keep from having to move the fuselage of an old 727 airliner out of his yard. Iverson got license plates for the airplane and says the plane is a “recreational vehicle”. (UPI) ...Only for Illinoisans named Hugh Hefner.
