Dog Robbers snatch dog poo

A Chinese woman has told how robbers snatched a parcel of dog poo wrapped in newspaper out of her hand outside a bank.

That sounds similar to all the dead cat ULs where robbers snatch bags or parcels that contain a dead cat being transported for burial!

I've also heard tales of snatchers making off with the bag from a conscientous dog walker's pooper scooper - not that it wouldn't be perfect poetic justice!

The story stinks .... and they weren't flush with money either. What a bummer.

Exceptional level of customer service though isn't it? "Excuse me, my dog needs to take a crap on your floor, could I have some newspapers?"

I wonder if they'd be that accommodating in the Nat West. Note to self, get a dog.

Lloyds maybe - they must be used to cleaning up after that horse.

I wonder what's in store for yesterday's edition of the Chutian City Papers.

Years ago I worked at a very small shop that sold children's clothing. One very hot summer day, a woman asked if she could use our employee bathroom to change her child's diaper. Which she did - and left the stinky diaper in the bathroom.

Since we didn't want to have this diaper stinking up our store, and since business was slow that day, the lady working with me (who had a mischievous streak) decided to have some fun. She put the diaper in a box and used some of our gift wrap and ribbon to make a beautiful package. We then left it in a bag on a bench in the mall just outside the store.

Unfortunately we got busy and didn't notice when the bag disappeared.

You don't think they let the horse in the bank though?
