[This was heard on KTSR 92.1 FM in Bryan/College Station this morning.] A Houston newspaper carried a story recently that told of a young girl that was trying out for a position on a cheerleading squad at a Harris County High School. The paper also told of another girl who was really good that the first girl had to beat in order to get the only position on the squad. The mother of the first girl really wanted her daughter to make the squad and decided to go to any length to accomplish this. So she decided to hire a hit man to `rub out' both the other girl AND her mother! The law enforcement officers of Harris County get wind of this, and place one of their officers in as the hit man. The officer meets with the mother and after finding out what she has done, tells her a price for getting the job done. The mother exclaims that she doesn't have that kind of money. But the officer says, well, for today only we will have a 1/2-price special, and the mother agrees (she had to hock a diamond right to pay for the deal). Well, the officer idetifies himself and arrests her for Solicitation of Capital Murder. But the kicker to this story was that during the indictment hearing, it was revealed that there were actually 2 spots open on the cheerleading squad. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This story was brought to you by: Michael Farlow..............tmf4387@scooter.tamu.edu Texas A&M University........(409) 845-1365
