What I find to be absolutely amazing is that ALL of these exact same events occurred about a year or two ago in the USA.

The brick into the liquor store was a cinder block [besser brick] & the window was "Plexiglass" which does exist, & not 'Flexiglass', which doesn't.

I was also interested to read how the Aussie liquor store clerk[?] needed to know if the robber was 21 [the minimum legal age in the US] instead of 18, the minimum legal age in Australia.

Funny stories none the less with just a few facts changed to give it a local flavour.

Tribe, not village Mik! & if I said something smart it must have been a typo. ( a bit like you!) :)

apparently i was a bit of a mistake, depends if im in trouble or not.

I think you've caught someone out there Dodgeman - funny all the same

a lot get made up for Readers Digest because they pay 100$ for one good enough to go in. Not saying there arent idiots around, just read the Perth Boys thread!
I liked that one a while ago about the GSX-R rider who poured 2 bottles of NOS energy drink in half a bike tank and sugared up his whole fuel system, then noone believed he could be that stupid.

For me the prize idiot of 2009 is the politician, police minister i think who made a speech after the first "hoon" to get his car crushed got caught driving again had his 2nd car impounded then got caught riding a 25cc stand up scooter on the footpath for his 3rd big life endangering strike. The minister said "hes really stupid, i would even go so far as to say dumb", She wasthe stupid one since "dumb" means mute, unable to speak, nothing to do with intelligence.
