A 46 year old guy who made a false police report to hide the fact that he had lost $4,000 on his gambling habit did it… because he was scared of his mom. The Chinese hawker’s assistant, told Singaporean police that he had been robbed at knifepoint by two men in broad daylight on an overhead bridge, who fled with his $4K. However, after extensive inquiries, it turned out that he was trying to hide the fact that he had gambled and lost $4,000, and was too scared to tell his mother. So now, not only does momma know, he could also land up in jail for a year for giving false information to the police.
“A private, anxious to secure leave of absence, sought his captain with a most convincing tale about a sick wife breaking her heart for his absence. The officer, familiar with the soldier’s ways, replied:
“I am afraid you are not telling the truth. I have just received a letter from your wife urging me not to let you come home because you get drunk, break the furniture, and mistreat her shamefully.”
The private saluted and started to leave the room. He paused at the door, asking: “Sor, may I speak to you, not as an officer, but as mon to mon?”
“Yes; what is it?”
“Well, sor, what I’m after sayin’ is this,” approaching the captain and lowering his voice. “You and I are two of the most elegant liars the Lord ever made. I’m not married at all.”
