Pee-ty stupid

STORIES OF THE NEARLY NORMAL
You would think that a bank robber who can get himself into a bank vault without being seen, spend the night removing cash and jewellery from 140 safety boxes, and then get out of the vault and clean away the following morning, would have some brains.

Instead, we have our newest member of the Nearly Normal Club.

The trouble with our bank robber, a Swede who got himself into a bank vault in Denmark, is that he couldn't go all night with having a you know what. He actually brought two empty bottles for this contingency, which was thoughtful of him.


Where his thinking broke down was the next morning, when he left the two full bottles of pee in the bank vault.

The consequences might have been different if he hadn't been dumb enough to have have engaged in criminal acts in the past, and get caught for doing so.

The Danish police called to investigate the empty security boxes took the full urine bottles, tested them and got a ding when they compared the DNA to the convicted crim list.

The result was a 21-month stretch in a place the size of a bank vault which has its own toilet.

Man rescued from his own stupidity

Timothy James Chapek, who declined to smile for his mug shot


STORIES OF THE NEARLY NORMAL
A man who broke into a home in Portland, Oregon, decided that he would have a shower while he was there.


It is not known whether having a shower was his intention in breaking into the house, or whether he had more conventional motives, such as robbery, which he deferred while he got cleaned up.

Whatever, there the intruder was, having a shower in someone else's home, when he was startled by a suspicious noise.

The man realised several things at once, although the sum total of their value barely registers on the IQ scale.

The first was that the noise might be the home owners returning, inconveniently, home.

The second was that, this being America, the homeowners might have a gun.

The third was, if they had a gun, he was in big trouble.

The fourth was, this might be a good time to panic.

So he did what any naked, wet, scared trespasser would do: he rang emergency.

It is also unknown whether he asked for police, ambulance, fire or the US Air Force. But someone came promptly, and arrested Mr Timothy James Chapek, 24, for being Nearly Normal.

committee meeting
Warning: Committee meetings can be dangerous to your health

STORIES OF THE NEARLY NORMAL
Further evidence has emerged that committee meetings on Planet Earth have been infected by an alien virus which feeds on dim-wittedness.

The latest outbreak of bizarre committee behaviour comes from the Czech Republic, where transport authority officers met recently to discuss road traffic problems.

The group heard that the problems were due to a shortage of traffic lights. Someone suggested more traffic lights be installed. Someone said traffic lights were expensive. Someone said perhaps traffic light alternatives could be explored.

Experts examining the transcript of the committee meeting pinpoint this moment as the crucial one. No human, they say, no matter how intellectually enfeebled, could have been responsible for what happened next unless under the influence of an alien viral invasion.

Someone suggested, instead of traffic lights, they install at intersections cardboard cut-outs of female police officers wearing mini-skirts.

Things got rapidly worse from there as the virus took over the meeting. Someone called for a vote on the proposal. And the committee voted in favour.

What happened next suggests the dim decision-creating virus, having had a feeding frenzy, went quiet, because things returned to sensible predictability.

The mini-skirted cardboard policewoman cut-outs did not solve the problem. Police said so many motorists were distracted by them that traffic accidents actually doubled.

What a surprise.

The virus, unfortunately, will need to feed again soon. Beware, it could infect a committee meeting near you.

dumb criminal
STORIES OF THE NEARLY NORMAL
A couple in El Paso, Texas, has provided the perfect example of why intelligent beings from space don't visit Earth. Every time an advanced civilisation takes an interest - perhaps after intercepting radio waves carrying strains of Mozart - and considers dropping by and offering a few technological hints on nuclear fusion and time travel, some Earthling does something really dumb and the aliens laugh and mark us down for a review in 50 years.
