[Ansteorra] Nuttiness closer to Home

[Elaine Crittenden]

Along that line...

There's a book I picked up at a garage sale: 'Crimes and Mis"dumb"meanors,
You have the Right to Remain Dumb" It has tales of the dumbest criminal
acts!

Like the latest one I heard this week on the evening news about a fellow who
was stealing clothes from a store. He carefully pulled the alarm tags off
all the items and strolled out of the store with his loot. When he passed
the alarm, it went off. He had forgotten he had hidden in his pocket the
removed tags!

I'll be on the lookout for Ari's "pickle agreement" book. Sounds super.
