PHARMACY headache.
Staff at a Swiss pharmacy were
left with one big headache, after
a learner driver, Heidi Beike,
crashed through the shop’s front
window.
The unfortunate learner was in
the midst of a driving lesson
when she mistook the accelerator
for the brake, and careered
through the window.
It is estimated that Heidi’s
mistake will cost around $30,000
to fix.
“I only wanted to stop in front
of the chemist, but then
everything went wrong - very
wrong,” she said.
“The chemist was very patient,
I bumped my head on the
windscreen quite badly and he
offered to treat it for me while
we were waiting for the
paramedics,” she added.
GLASSES needed.
A short sighted German
woman, Sara Faerber, sparked a
full on emergency animal hunt,
after she reported seeing a tiger
wandering the streets.
Police responded in force to her
call, dispatching an armed unit
with tranquliser guns, as well as a
wildlife expert to contain the
beast.
Loaded for tiger, the police
discovered that the menacing
jungle cat was in fact just a large
stuffed tiger toy left abandoned
on the street.
“We’d like to find the owner
just to piece together what
happened,” a police
spokesperson said.
“If we don’t, we will probably
arrange for it to be donated to a
local children’s home,” the
spokesperson added.
Meanwhile the contrite Faerber
told media that it was better to
be safe than sorry, and that “in the
half-light it looks just like a real
tiger sitting there watching me.”
Speaking of safety first, Faerber
may now want to visit her local
optometrist.
