Here’s another cool story with the ageless moral: Crime Does Not Pay. A gas clerk in Canada decided that he would pocket two lottery tickets belonging to an unsuspecting customer. When the draw on these tickets came around several weeks ago, the crook was thrilled to learn that one of them hit for $90,000. Thinking that he had Lady Luck on his side, the guy went to claim the winnings – and this is where he fell hard. He couldn’t answer some basic questions regarding the purchase of the ticket, which are routinely asked by lottery corporation staff when the winnings are in their six digits. After a bit of investigation, the clerk ‘fessed up and was arrested. The original ticketholder was stunned when lottery staff came knocking on his door to hand him over a check for $90K on a draw that he didn’t even know about!
A skinhead and his girlfriend were walking down the road when she spotted a beautiful diamond ring in the window.
“Wow,” she said, “I would sure like to have that!”
“No problem baby!” said the skinhead, as he threw a brick through the window and snatched the ring and ran off.
A few blocks later, his girlfriend was admiring a leather jacket in another shop window.”What I would give to own that!” she said.
“Sure thing, darling!” said the skinhead, throwing another brick through the window and snatching the jacket.
Finally turning for home, they pass a Mercedes car dealership. “Boy, I would do just anything for one of those!” she said to her boyfriend.
“Oh for Christ’s sake,” said the skinhead, “Do you think bricks grow on trees or something?”
