Why I read the Amarillo Globe News: Stories like this. A bit of background; a severed human head was found by the guys on the trash truck. Potter County JP Dysart, take it away:
Potter County Justice of the Peace Haven Dysart did not have a lot to work with Monday after a human head turned up in a trash truck.

"I wrote down the time, location and where the head was found," he said. "If we don't find anything else, we still need to have some kind of identification. We will send it off, probably to Lubbock."
Wow, he must have seen at least three whole episodes of Law & Order to figure that one out. Write down the time. Ok, got that one. Now, where to send the severed human head? Probably Lubbock. Those guys at Tech really get off on this kind of shit. They're just like that gal on Crossing Jordan, but with a cowboy hat and a dip of Copenhagen in their lip. But it gets better:
Police were not calling the situation a crime on Monday while looking for clues, such as evidence of how the person who's head was found died. Police did not release an estimated age, the race or gender of the person.
Not a crime? Even if this was the garbage of a funeral home, this would be a crime, wouldn't it? You can't just throw away someone's head, can you? So how on earth could it not be a crime? Did someone on that particular trash route just happen to have an extra human head this week? Come on, people. [HC story here.]
