THE best laid plans of mice and
men....
A would-be robber, who did not
like to be kept waiting, phoned
ahead his theft order.
According to reports, Roy
Pharmacy in the US received a
call around 9.40pm last week,
requesting staff members place
all of the store’s supplies of
OxyContin in the drive-through
receptacle, warning them that
there may be someone in the
store with a gun.
Naturally employees called the
police, who searched the store to
no avail.
It was however a case of wrongplace
wrong-time for one
pharmacy shopper who was in the
store at the time, who having
outstanding warrants for his arrest
was subsequentially picked-up and
shipped off to an awaiting cell block.
THE dead walk!
Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital has
had to offer a rather embarrassed
apology after it mistakenly
declared a a very-much alive and
suffering patient dead.
According to reports Peter
Thornton was checked into
hospital in March for a severe
case of gastro, and then left
unattended on a trolley for 12
hours, after which he simply got
off the trolley and checked
himself out.
Later in the week Thornton
visited his GP only to discover the
hospital had sent the doctor a
letter declaring his time of death
on March 9th.
NO cheese for you!
A day-care centre in the UK has
received a healthy serve of
backlash after it confiscated a
cheese sandwich from a toddler
because it did not fit healthy
eating guidelines.
According to the boy’s mother,
she packed her child’s own lunch
after he suffered an upset stomach from
food served at the centre.
In a strange twist, had the
sandwich had tomato on it as
well, it would not have been taken
away as it would have been
classed as a snack.
