When armed robbers burst into a Berlin hotel in March and tried to steal the 1 million Euros prize money meant for a star studded poker tournament, the heist was nicknamed the Great Poker Robbery by the media. But as more and more details emerge about this botched attempt, it seems that the robbers really were ahead of themselves. For starters, the average age of the robbers was 20 – showing that this really was a matter of kid’s stuff. Apparently, two older guys – including the uncle of one of the youth – gave them instructions, handed them arms and sent them on their merry way. No wonder that when one of the kids appeared in court for the robbery (wearing shorts no less), his lawyer said on his behalf that he had not realized that he was taking part in a serious crime (!)
Here’s a bit of bleagh joke courtesy of LifeisaJoke: “Once inside the bank shortly after midnight, a gang of raiders’ efforts at disabling the internal 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 scattered throughout the bank.
The robbers cracked the first safe’s combination, and inside they found only a bowl of vanilla pudding. As recorded on the bank’s audio-tape system, one said, “At least we’ll get a bit to eat,” The robbers opened up a second safe, and it also contained nothing but vanilla pudding.
The process continued until all the safes were opened. They found not one pound sterling, a diamond, or an ounce of gold. Instead, all the safes contained covered 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.”
