Give a bum a dollar, does he buy food, save it for a room for the night? Nah..... he buys a lottery ticket. Too damn bad the "charitble" fool didn't use his dollar to buy a winning ticket for himself, rather than give it to a "needy" derelict asking for handouts.

At least he could gave back the dollar!

Santa Caught with His Trousers On

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An absent-minded bank robber dressed as Santa Claus will spend Christmas in an Australian jail, after he forgot about his pants.

Gregory Harland-White, 40, planned to rob a bank in a small town on Australia's island state Tasmania dressed as Santa Claus, dump the suit in a horse trailer and get away on a bicycle, The Mercury newspaper in Tasmania reported on Wednesday.

Harland-White bought his Santa suit from a chicken feed shop near the bank and armed himself with two pieces of pipe taped together to look like a gun.

After robbing the bank of about $10,000, Harland-White ran into a nearby horse trailer to dump the Santa suit, before heading for his get away vehicle, a bicycle chained to a power pole more than a block away.

But he forgot to take off his Santa pants and was quickly caught, never making it to his bicycle. Harland-White pleaded guilty to bank robbery in a court in Tasmania on Tuesday and is awaiting sentencing, The Mercury said.
