"Shea Allen, an investigative reporter at an Alabama ABC affiliate, got fired after posting this little beauty:
1. I've gone bra-less during a live broadcast and no one was the wiser.
6. I'm frightened of old people and I refuse to do stories involving them or the places they reside.
9. If you ramble and I deem you unnecessary for my story, I'll stop recording but let you think otherwise.
10. I've stolen mail and then put it back. (maybe)"

(11,862 posts)I had no idea then that it was a crime to steal letters, much less a FEDERAL CRIME...which my mother empathized!
