    Spilt Milk!!

    From todays indo:

    THERE is no use crying over spilled milk . . . but one man can be forgiven for shedding a few tears when he reflects on how he paid €700 for a new computer and ended up with four litres of bainne instead.

    The middle-aged man was approached on The Parade in Kilkenny and asked if he was interested in buying a new lap-top.

    He was told it was a once-in-a-lifetime offer and €700 would secure the state-of-the-art machine plus accessories. After a few minutes of negotiating, the man reached for his pocket and parted with the money in €50 notes. He received no invoice, sales slip or guarantee - just a case said to contain the computer.

    In a scene which could have come straight out of British sit-com 'Only Fools and Horses', the vendor then beat a hasty retreat.

    When the man opened the case he found four litres of milk wrapped in cardboard. The milk gave the specially designed hold-all weight and the cardboard gave it the feel of a lap-top.

    Sgt Pat Murphy of Kilkenny Garda Station said people should only buy goods from legitimate vendors or from sources they could identify. Anyone with information is asked to contact Kilkenny gardai at 056-772-2222.

    I guess the cat got his cream.

    Serves him right for being so thick and for carrying that much cash around with him.

    Happened to a Boardsie poster a few months ago. I very rarely laugh at other people's misfortunes, but in cases like that I'm willing to make an exception. My response to that event was a little insensitive...

    If you're stupid enough to let it happen to you, you're stupid enough to tell people...
