The Vanilla Pudding Robbery

I got this news report this morning from a friend in Vegas and just wanted to share with you. Excerpted from an article that appeared in The Dublin Times about a bank robbery on March 2, this year. Too good to let go...

...Once inside the bank shortly after midnight, their efforts at disabling the security system got underway immediately. The robbers, who expected to find one or two large safes filled with cash and valuables, were surprised to see hundreds of smaller safes throughout the bank.

The robbers cracked the first safe's combination, and inside they found only a small bowl of vanilla pudding. As recorded on the bank's audio tape system, one robber said, 'At least we'll have a bit to eat.'

The robbers opened up a second safe, and it also contained nothing but vanilla pudding. The process continued until all safes were opened. They did not find one single euro, a diamond, or any ounce of gold. Instead, all the safes contained covered little bowls of pudding.

Disappointed, the robbers made a quiet exit, each leaving with nothing more than a queasy, uncomfortably full stomach. The newspaper headline read the next day:

'IRELAND'S LARGEST SPERM BANK ROBBED EARLY THIS MORNING'....
