Apparently This Also
Needs To Be Said. If Two Men Are Standing Next To The Bank
Night Deposit Slot Claiming It Is Broken And Promising To Deposit Your
Money For You In The Morning If You Hand It To Them, Don't Give Them
Your Money
Two men
in
Tigard, Oregon, dressed as security guards, and
standing next to a bank's night deposit slot with an "Out of service
sign on it," offered to take people's money and deposit if for them in
the morning, according to one knucklehead who was shocked to learn that
the men never made the promised deposit. Police
only came
to learn of the scam when some fool called the bank in the morning to
check on his parted money.

The
world's most incompetent burglar,
John Pearce of Dartford, Kent, UK, got his shoe laces stuck in the
window frame he just smashed with a hammer, trying to gain entry, and
remained hanging upside down
like a schmuck for over an hour until police could free him.
"Hang in there, mate!"
Passersby found it all very entertaining.

FROM THE "LOOK WHAT I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH" FILES
Jerry, I don't know where this would go, but...
When I was a medical student about a million years ago, I was sitting in a classroom eating my lunch and waiting for the class to start, when I decided to stand up--probably to throw away trash, but I don't now remember. Anyway, my knee was locked, and I couldn't stand!
I had no option but to wait for someone else to come and then contact the student health service to come get me (having one leg frozen in a sitting position, so to speak--half a lap?--markedly limits one's mobility!)
I guess student health on a college campus doesn't get much excitement, so they seized the opportunity to bring the ambulance with siren screaming (they did not, however, knock over the breakaway posts). A nice young man (I was about 35 at the time, much older than he) came in with an air splint and proceeded to put it on me (straightening my leg in the process, of course)--but then he had to blow it up, BY MOUTH, and the valve was--you guessed it--at the top of the splint--right in my groin!
Of course I and my fellow students got the giggles, and then the guffaws, and the poor man turned bright red. He did manage to get it blown up, eventually! [Maybe he went slow on purpose - editor]
How about a bonehead award to the designer of the splint? Fortunately for me, we escaped any headlines...
