(CP) - Some unusual statements in the news in 2004:
"I'm a dead man walking. I've got to re-apply for everything, from the birth certificates (on down)." - Dane Squires after his sister misidentified a mangled body hit by a train in Toronto as being him.
"Everyone does the limo thing." - Jackie Davies, who went to her high school prom in Aylmer, Ont., on a tractor.
"There's nothing in my life so personal that I can't write down, whether it's a bowel movement or a period or cat (poop)." Singer Jann Arden, who published her second tell-all collection of diary entries.
"We must allow for same-sex marriages, multiple-people marriages and android-human marriages." - Computer technician David Boyd, who sought the federal Conservative Party's nomination in the riding of Dartmouth-Cole Harbour in Nova Scotia, Canada. He lost.
"I think drunken and stupid was the motivation." - Det. John Babiar, after two men on inline skates stole a Staffordshire terrier pup from the Toronto Humane Society.
"It's not like it's a brown paper bag. It's the holy grail." - Fitness gym owner Brent re: Lock on the Stanley Cup getting lost briefly in luggage on an Air Canada flight.
And although it was not listed in the article above, my vote for most unusual goes to:
" I voted for it before I voted against it." John F. Kerry
