---------------- GOING POSTAL Antoinette McCullough, 23, a courtesy clerk at a Safeway supermarket in San Francisco, has been charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon after two customers accidentally knocked a bottle of beer to the floor. She told the customers to clean it up -- she apparently didn't want to since her shift was ending. When they refused, she grabbed a piece of the broken bottle and "things deteriorated from that point," a police spokesman said. "The patrons ended up being stabbed in the face by the clerk with pieces of the bottle." The shoppers were treated at a nearby hospital. A Safeway spokeswoman tried to put the attack in perspective: "This is not typical of our stores," she said. (AP) ---------------- Thomas W. Passmore, 32, was working on a construction project in Norfolk, Va., when he noticed a mark on his hand. It looked like "666" to him. He remembered his bible: "If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off." Passmore picked up his circular saw and complied. Taken to a nearby hospital, he refused to give consent to surgery, saying he would go to hell if they reattached his hand. Hospital officials, unsure what to do, consulted a judge, who told the hospital to follow their patient's wishes. Now, Passmore is suing the hospital for $3.35 million, saying they should have overruled his orders and forced him to have the surgery. He said the hospital is liable because he told them he had a history of mental problems, and had not slept much recently. (AP)
