    The Vanilla Pudding Robbery.


    This is just too funny not to share. An article which appeared in The Dublin Times about a bank robbery on March 2.



    Once inside the bank shortly after midnight, the bank robbers' efforts at disabling the security system got underway immediately. The robbers, who expected to find one or two large safes filled with cash and valuables, were surprised to see hundreds of smaller safes throughout the bank.

    The robbers cracked the first safe's combination, and inside they found only a small bowl of vanilla pudding.

    As recorded on the bank's audio tape system, one robber said, 'At least we'll have a bit to eat.'

    The robbers opened up a second safe, and it also contained nothing but vanilla pudding. The process continued until all safes were opened.

    They did not find one pound sterling, a diamond, or an ounce of gold. Instead, all the safes contained covered little bowls of pudding.

    Disappointed, the robbers made a quiet exit, each leaving with nothing more than a queasy, uncomfortably full stomach.

    The newspaper headline read:


    'IRELAND'S LARGEST SPERM BANK ROBBED EARLY THIS MORNING'....

    I like owls too, I held a little barn owl earlier this year. He was soooo sweet (but I was glad I'm not a mouse :eek:) Do you have a real pig and a sheep? :think: My OH has a jar that does counting but he still leaves coppers in the bedroom for me to [STRIKE]pot[/STRIKE] tidy up :whistle: Will he never learn.....
    I have just checked my bank account and I have FUNDS :T just a small injection but enough to take dear FiL to lunch as usual tomorrow and perhaps to go to the quiz night at the village pub tonight. It only costs £1 each including sandwiches, how good is that :D We never win but it's great fun...

    Have a great evening everyone! x

    My inconclusive travel plans for 2012:

    I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

    I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

    I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.

    I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.

    I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.

    I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

    Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.

    One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

    I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing.

    PLEASE DO YOUR PART!

    Today is one of the many National Mental Health Days throughout the year. You can do your bit by remembering to send an e-mail to at least one person. My job is done!
