SIR, come beak here please.
You may have had to deal with
shop lifters in your pharmacy but
we bet nothing quite like airport
officials in Cuba, who arrested
a man trying to leave the island
with 66 native birds stuffed into
his trousers.
The United States resident had
secreted Cuban Grassquits inside
his pants, the bulk of which drew
attention from customs officials,
Juventud Rebelde reported.
Apparently, the incident
occurred last month in Camaguey,
a trip to the courts of which can’t
have been cheep.
NOW try ‘glomerulonephritis’.
We’ve said it before and we’ll
say it again - these spelling bee
competitions really need to give
pharmaceutical names and terms
a go.
That way, the Scripps National
Spelling Bee wouldn’t have
declared two people cochampions,
the first time this
had happened in 52 years, the
Telegraph reported.
The US teenagers, Sriram
Hathwar of New York and Ansun
Sujoe of Texas drew for the
title after nearly finishing the
25 championship words, both
spelling 12 words correctly in a
row, the publication reported.
They both take home about
$34,000 in cash and prizes, the
Telegraph said.
CAN we thank you in donuts?
If a customer enters your
pharmacy carrying odd-looking
equipment, maybe just let them
be - they could save your life.
An ambulance technician
wearing a carbon monoxide
detector who entered a Dunkin’
Donuts in New York possibly
saved the employees’ lives when
the detector went off, indicating
high levels of the odourless,
colourless and poisonous gas,
Associated Press reported.
An investigation found that a
vent in one of the ovens was the
cause of the leak, the publication
reported.
