In The News:

More Dumb Criminals:

Recently, a bank robber was arrested because he left his account card at a branch where he had checked his balance just before holding it up. He was sentenced to four years in jail.

The knife-wielding robber was identified as a 32-year-old former policeman from Serbia after a clerk who witnessed the heist found the plastic card in the branch shortly afterwards, Austrian news agency APA said on Tuesday.

Police arrested the man a little later, after he tried to deposit some of his 14,260 euros (9,600 pounds) loot in his account to reduce his overdraft and reported his card as lost.

Worst Postal Service Ever:

MOSCOW - Russian Post has started delivering 4.5 tonnes of letters and parcels that were sent from the United States in 1999.

The state-owned postal service said the delay was not its fault -- a shipping container with the mail inside had languished at a port in Finland for years.

The container finally reached Russia on December 8.

"The loss of mail usually happens because of force majeure circumstances, such as natural disasters, traffic and other accidents."

"All of the mail has been very well preserved because the container was hermetically sealed."

Just Joking:

Easy Going Waiter:

A customer was bothering the waiter in a restaurant.

First he asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot, then he asked it be turned down cause he was too cold and so on for about half an hour. Surprizingly, the waiter was very patient, he walked back and forth and never once got angry. So finally a second customer asked him why he didn't throw out the pest.

"Oh I don't care." said the waiter with a smile, "We don't even have an air conditioner"

Amish Tourists:

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?" The father responded "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is!"

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up.

They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24 year old woman stepped out.

Smiling, the father turned to his son and said, "Go get your Mother."


Oh Great...

A Yuppie in a BMW is driving down the expressway when a speeding truck sideswipes his car tearing the driver's side door. When the cop arrives on the accident scene, he finds the Yuppie whining and complaining about his missing door and the damage to his vehicle.

"You guys make me sick," says the cop. "You're so materialistic, so status-conscious, so selfish, so into yourselves and your possessions that you haven't even noticed that you lost your left arm in the accident. You're pathetic."

"That's great, just great," whines the Yuppie. "Now I've lost my Rolex!"

One Liners:

A fine is tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
Never go to bed mad, stay up and fight.
There is no job so simple that it can not be done wrong.
All I want is a chance to prove that money means nothing to me!
