Good to see police acting on drugs in Thailand. The golden triangle supplies the world with drugs and we know Melbourne is too hot to have some of that.

True story.

I used to know someone, who as a 'dare' went into a Bank with a banana, & told the cashier:

"This is a stick up"

 

He got 3 years.

Closest I got to anything like that was coming back from a fancy dress party as a 'mummy' covered with bandages, I was walking along the road with my girlfriend and passed a bus stop while the bus was there. I asked the driver how much it was to the cemetery as I was dying to go there. At least he laughed.

I won't go into details about three boys and a girl locked in a shed together when the police forced the door open.
