Dailey Bailey: A Homeless Guy Handed Out Resumes Instead of Asking for Change

A 52-year-old guy named Frederick Callison moved to California for a job about two years ago, but it fell through. And he ended up homeless.

He had a ton of experience as a line cook, but he just couldn’t find any work. So he recently decided to sit outside a grocery store in Sacramento.

And instead of asking for change, he handed out resumes!!

Michael Marteen took a picture of him doing it late last month . . . posted it online along with a photo of the resume . . . and asked people to share it on Facebook.

And shortly after that, a pizza place in downtown Sacramento hired him.

He’s working as a cook, and someone’s also giving him a place to stay until he can save up for an apartment.

This homeless man was sitting outside of Smart and Final NOT asking for money. His sign said “Need work, and hungry” not…

Dailey Bailey: 17% of Men Would Date a Convicted Murderer, and Eight Other Crazy Stats

I get that it can be tough to meet someone good to date, but I feel like if you’re so desperate that you’re willing to go out with a convicted murderer, maybe it’s time to just retire to a life with your cats.

A new survey on dating dealbreakers found people are willing to overlook a lot more than we would’ve guessed.

17% of men and 10% of women say they’d date someone who was convicted of murder. 3% of men and 2% of women would do it no questions asked. 14% of men and 8% of women would need a good explanation. Yes, for the murder.

Here are some more results from the survey . . .

1. 16% of men and 12% of women would date someone convicted of attempted murder. Yes, that means men are slightly more willing to date someone who succeeded in murder than someone who tried but failed. No one likes a quitter.

2. 32% of men and 23% of women would date someone who’s married.

3. 38% of men and 26% of women would date someone who posted homophobic or racist things on social media.

4. 46% of men and 32% of women would date someone convicted of public nudity.

5. 49% of men and 47% of women would date someone who posted photos of themselves getting hammered on social media.

6. 58% of men and 42% of women would date someone who posted sexually suggestive photos on social media.

7. 58% of men and 48% of women would date someone with a DUI.

8. And 58% of men and 52% of women would date someone who was convicted of marijuana possession.

Dailey Bailey: A New Survey on Things That Are Worse Than They Used to Be… A Lot Of Things.

Remember the old days? When everyone was polite, there were only three TV channels, and families actually talked during dinner instead of just staring at their cell phones?

A new survey asked people to name things that aren’t as good as they used to be. And people had no problem rattling off a massive list. Here’s the top 15:

#1.) Manners and politeness.

#2.) The weather.

#3.) Bars.

#4.) Schools.

#5.) TV.

#6.) Public transportation.

#7.) Banks.

#8.) Children.

#9.) Music.

#10.) Doctors.

#11.) The police. (The actual police, not the band.)

#12.) Hollywood movies.

#13.) Politicians.

#14.) Sports.

#15.) Sex.

So, is anything actually better than it used to be?

Only four things got positive rankings in this survey: Restaurants . . . cars . . . vacations . . . and fashion.

Dailey Bailey: A Man Is Arrested For Walking Around Walmart, and Placing Photos of Himself In Fishnet Stockings, a Camisole, and No Underwear On the Shelves

We love the website PeopleOfWalmart.com, which features an almost endless supply of ridiculous-looking people at Walmarts. Well . . . if these photos ever surface, they might trump everything else on that site.

Rodney Kunkel

Last week, 44-year-old Rodney Kunkel of Toledo, Ohio was busted for walking around a Walmart and putting photos of himself on different shelves.

The photos featured Rodney in fishnet stockings . . . a woman’s camisole . . . high heels . . . and no underwear.

He put at least nine of those photos on shelves, and on the windshields of some of the cars in the parking lot.

A Walmart security guard finally spotted him and called the police. They arrested him.

He’s been charged with two counts of pandering obscenity, which is a felony that could get him up to 12 months in prison and a $2,500 fine.

According to the police, quote, “apparently he did it just to get a reaction.”

This is Rodney’s third arrest for nudity. In 2002 he got out of his car totally naked and relieved his bladder in front of a grocery store. And in 2004 he was bicycling naked and exposed himself to a woman in front of an apartment complex.

Dailey Bailey: Nine Out of Ten People Have Happy Memories of Their First Car

Do you remember your first car? And when I ask the question, does a picture of it instantly appear in your head . . . and start you on a wistful, romantic flashback? Possibly with “Low Rider” by War playing as the soundtrack?

According to a new survey commissioned by Castrol, everybody has happy memories of their first car.

Half of the people surveyed say they had a, quote, “love affair” with their first car and they’ll never forget it. Another 40% say they remember their first car fondly. That means only 10% of people don’t have happy first-car memories

25% of people say they gave their first car a name.

10% of people say that even though their car would be a total heap by modern standards, they’d for sure buy it back if they had the chance.

62% of people say that their first car was six years old or more when they bought it used or got it passed down from a parent or sibling. The average person kept their first car for three years.

57% of people say they bought their first car themselves. Men were more likely than women to buy their first car.
