Oddities and Humor

I offered to do something like that. She did not like the idea.

Car Wash Thief
Bill owns a company that manufactures and installs car wash systems. Bill ‘s company installed a car wash system in Frederick , MD.

Now, understand that these are complete systems, including the money changer and money taking machines.



The problem started when the new owner complained to Bill that he was losing significant amounts of money from his coin machines each week.


He went as far as to accuse Bill ‘s employees of having a key to the boxes and ripping him off. Bill just couldn’t believe that his people would do that, so they setup a camera to catch the thief in action. Well, they did catch him on film!

That’s a bird sitting on the change slot of the machine.

The bird had to go down into the machine, and back up inside to get to the money!

That’s three quarters he has in his beak! Another amazing thing is that it was not just one bird — there were several working together. Once they identified the thieves, they found more than $4000 in quarters on the roof of the car wash and more under a nearby tree.



And you thought you heard of everything by now!! !!

Good one, francis. Birds are so resourceful, they rarely surprise me anymore.

I have an experience myself with starlings.

They are really resourceful and funny..

That's a great story, Francis! Thanks for posting it!

One more try - do they have pipe extenders for regular showerhead fixtures?

Boid crooks. Love it.

Why in the world did the birds want the quarters? We'll probably never know.

Loren Eisley wrote a book describing starlings' antics. Amazing birds.

osso
a half inch nipple will fit where the showerhead pipe fits. From there, it's just a question of an ell, another pipe and whatever to stabilize and point it. But that is irelevant, because she does not want it rigged, but "done right."

Ok, we have a case of no-sense-my-lady...

I am never rude to a resident, but I am going to stonewall it with her and let the office deal with her.

In that case, we're back to the cost/benefit analysis. I mean, she can have a five wheeled Cadillac if she wants, but it's going to cost to get it. It will also cost when she sells it.

She probably does not get enough oxygen to think clearly. She goes around with a hose in her nose.

I think we could say that about a lot of politicians, too.

How very strange ...
Exploding watermelons.
Haven't heard of such occurrences ever before!


China's exploding fruit crisis

Talk about killing fields!

This stuff actually seems to be fairly common among the kind of farmers who compete in who's-got-the-biggest-pumpkin contests. I'm not surprised it occurs in watermelons as well.

WOOF.

Hey, neat story! I wouldn't have thought:



Time to get back to some more natural farming methods!

Good ones, euro and olga.

It looks like the aftermath of a Gallager performance.
