The guitar-shaped bulge in Morgan Conatser's clothing tipped off a music store owner that there might be a crime in progress. Clifton Lovell, owner of Guitars and Cadillacs on U.S. Highway 71 in De Queen, was talking with a customer last week when he saw Conatser, 29, walking out of the store.
"I saw him walking out to his pickup truck and the bulges in his leather jacket. I said, 'Hey what have you got there,'" Clifton Lovell said.
He said Conatser, 29, replied, "Nothing."
Lovell pointed toward the unnatural shapes in Conatser's jacket and pants and said, "You've got something."
Conatser then removed a solid body electric guitar from his pants leg and from underneath his jacket.
"The neck of the guitar was almost down to his knee and the back of the guitar was almost up to his neck. It wasn't hard to spot. There was no way he could sit down or get into the pickup," Lovell said.
A window washer working on a downtown high-rise building attracted attention Friday after he apparently fell asleep on the job.
The man was cleaning the glass on the 20th floor of the Fifth Third Bank building on Church Street when several onlookers noticed he was not moving.
"I figured he had just either passed out or maybe he had fallen asleep," said Leroy Anderson, who said he had been watching the man for 30 minutes before fire engines arrived. "It's sunny and warm up there, and there's no wind."
The man came to after firefighters tugged on his ropes, then held up a sign from inside the window to get his attention. The worker lowered himself to the sidewalk, where he walked over to an ambulance to be examined by paramedics.
"It's unusual to fall asleep outside while on scaffolding that high up," Booker said. "Believe me, I'm afraid to step off that curb, let alone go 15 stories up."
...women are more chee-zhar (in cantonese it's chatty, in a bad way) than men!
Women talk three times as much as men
Women talk almost three times as much as men, with the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day - 13,000 more than the average man.
Women also speak more quickly, devote more brainpower to chit-chat - and actually get a buzz out of hearing their own voices, a new book suggests. The book - written by a female psychiatrist - says that inherent differences between the male and female brain explain why women are naturally more talkative than men.
In The Female Mind, Dr Luan Brizendine says women devote more brain cells to talking than men. And, if that wasn't enough, the simple act of talking triggers a flood of brain chemicals which give women a rush similar to that felt by heroin addicts when they get a high.
Dr Brizendine, a self-proclaimed feminist, says the differences can be traced back to the womb, where the sex hormone testosterone moulds the developing male brain.
The areas responsible for communication, emotion and memory are all pared back the unborn baby boy. The result is that boys - and men - chat less than their female counterparts and struggle to express their emotions to the same extent.

Irish police have told a man dubbed Ireland's dumbest crook to give up his disastrous criminal career before it gets the better of him.
The unnamed man in his 30s has been arrested three times and each heist has brought him closer to the hereafter.
Police took the man into custody and to the hospital at the weekend after he was hit by a lorry while making a getaway from a betting shop robbery, the Irish Sun reported.
He has also been plucked from a chimney where he became stuck while trying to burgle a house, and from the ceiling of a bank where he was pinned by a security device. When they arrived at the bank he was dangling by one leg and stuffing cash into his underpants.
"Go straight before you kill yourself," the Sun quoted Dublin police as having told him.
TMZ is reporting that after just three months of marriage, Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce from Kid Rock citing irreconcilable differences according to her lawyer, Neal Hersh. Apparently they didn't disagree about getting divorced.

The “Ghost” Poop The kind where you feel the poop come out, but there’s no poop in the bowl.�
The “Clean” Poop The kind where you feel the poop come out, see poopie in the bowl, but there’s no poop on the paper.
The “Wet” Poop You wipe your butt fifty times and it still feels unwiped. So you end up putting toilet paper between your ass and your underwear so you don’t ruin them with skid marks.
The “Second Wave” Poop This poop usually happens when you’ve finished, your pants are up to your knees, and you suddenly realize you have to poop some more.
The “Brain Hemorrhage” Poop You have to strain so much to get it out that you turn purple and practically have a stroke.
The “Corn Cob” Poop No explanation necessary.
The “Lincoln Log” Poop The kind of poopie that’s so enormous you’re afraid to flush it down without first breaking it up into little pieces with the toilet brush.
The “Notorious Drinker” Poop The kind of poop you have the morning-after a long night of drinking. Its most noticeable trait is the tread mark left on the bottom of the toilet bowl after you flush.
The “Gee, I Really Wish I Could” Poop The kind where you want to poop but, even after straining your guts out, all you can do is sit on the toilet cramped and farting. (very frustrating if you’re using a pay toilet.)
The “Power Dump” Poop The kind that comes out so fast that you barely get your pants down when you’re done.
The “Liquid Plumber” Poop This kind of poop is so big it plugs up the toilet and it overflows all over the floor. (You should have followed the advice from the “Lincoln Log” poop.)
The “Spinal Tap” Poop The kind of poop that hurts so much coming out, you’d swear it’s got to be coming out sideways.
The “I Think I’m Giving Birth Through My Asshole” Poop Similar to the “Lincoln Log” and “Spinal Tap” poop. The shape and size of the turd resembles a tall boy beer can. Vacuous air space remains in the rectum for some time afterward.
The “Porridge” Poop The type of poop that comes out like toothpaste, and just keeps coming. You have two choices: (a) flush and keep going, or (b) risk it piling up to your butt while you sit there helpless.
The “I Think I’m Turning into a Bunny” Poop When you drop lots of little round turds that look like marbles and make tiny splashing sounds when they hit the water.
The “I’m Going to Chew my Food Better” Poop When the bag of Doritos you ate last night lacerates your insides on the way out.
The “What the Hell Died in Here” Poop Also sometimes referred to as the “Toxic Dump” poop. Of course you don’t warn anyone of the poisonous bathroom odour. Instead, you stand innocently near the door and enjoy the show as they run out gagging and gasping for air.
The “I Just Know There’s a Turd Still Hanging There” Poop Where you just sit there patiently and wait for the last cling-on to drop off, because if you wipe it now, it’s going to smear all over the place.
The “Fire In the Bowl” Poop The kind of poop that singes the hair around your butt from the big feed of Mexican food the night before
