I agree. Put a feather in your cap. HA! HA!

Heard on radio this a.m.
Woman stole a pair of shoes for her son. Took them back to change next day because they didin't fit and security arrested her for theft after identifying her on CCTV.

My dad did that once (drunk). He stole me a pair of trainers - one size 5, the other size 6. Both left foot. And he was caught. Top work!

Woderful!

That reminded me...

A certain person had to pick up some stuff for his wife on the way home from a Christmas party. He went into Woollies and whilst perusing the cassette collection, spotted a young lady of his aquaintance.
Surprising her from behind, he put his arms round her waist and kissed her on the nape saying, "Merry Christmas".
She wriggled and purred saying, "Oooh, ...that's nice".

When he released her and she turned around, she was a stranger. Oh bugger!
