Ilsa: Rick, don't you remember Paris?
Rick: Sure, I remember ever detail. The Germans wore gray. You wore a milk crate on your head.
Aren't people wonderful and so endlessly creative?
You just can't make this stuff up can you?
Made me laugh out loud, I tell you!
Have you ever seen the vid clip of the convience store robber that whips out his pistol so haphazardly that it flies out of his hand and lands on the counter right in front of the clerk?
The clerk simply picks it up, aims at the perp, and the perp falls all over himself trying to scramble back out the front door!
I tried doing a search for a site that has stupid criminal videos/security camera but didn't have much luck.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Thanks, Marty. You really did our state proud....
No relation, in case you were wondering.
Trying to "milk" it for all its worth.

LOL, does his head look familiar to you?
Hahah! Inspired!
"Why the hell did he do that????"
