Funnies from the Daily Universe

On Tuesday, Ryan got to take pictures of the dean of the 0f the school of business at BYU for work. While he was on campus he grabbed a copy of the campus newspaper, The Daily Universe. On the way home from Provo we read the different stories from the police beat. I attached a few of my favorites below. If you are interested in reading more go here.
