Potpourri 2016-II

Such irony! As the Dow Jones was hemorrhaging last Friday, it was the American Red Cross ringing the final bell. And they didn't even offer a band-aid!

Headline Moscow: New prison rule in Russia "NO SWEARING!" Detainees will be banned either addressing one another or their guards in the traditional, foulmouthed slang of the Russian prison system. Too bad we didn't have such a rule on our waterfront where I heard a few choice words.
Dateline London: A group of aging thieves pulled off a twenty million dollar heist from a safe deposit bank in London aided by the book "Forensics for Dummies" and diamond tipped drills. And they did it over several days. But their bragging at the local pub did them in. You can't make this stuff up.
