HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1975-11-06, Page 12L s column is dedicated to all the losers in the world, There are plenty of them. For example, a thief in the West broke into a department store and spent all night trying to crack the safe. At dawn, he left empty-handed and disgusted, When the manager came in, he found the thief's tools laying on the floor. The would-be robber could have saved himself a lot of trouble by being more observant. He didn't notice the slip of paper taped to the door of the safe. The note carried the combination and this message: "This safe is empty." Another thief discovered crime doesn't pay. He stole four shoes from the front porch of a house. He couldn't sell them, though, because they were all for the left foot. Their owner had only one leg. He thought that letting someone steal the useless shoes was an easy way to get rid of them. Closer to home, two pieces of almost identical machinery sat side by side in front of an im- plement shop. The temptation was too much for some thieves. In the middle of the night, they backed their truck onto the lot and loaded one of the machines. The only difference between the two was one worked and the other didn't, the thieves stole thelatter one. Some newly-weds are also losers. A young couple were married at the home of the bride's mother in Mississippi. After the ceremony, the minister noticed the licence had been issued in Tennessee; it wasn't legal in Mississippi. Rather than obtain a Mississippi licence and wait another three days, the minister suggested they move the Odds n' Ends By ELAINE TOWNSHEND ceremony to the nearest spot in Tennessee. Later that day, the Tennessee motorists were surprised to pass a minister, a bride and groom, about two dozen wedding guests and a candelabra on thelshoulder of a highway just inside the state border. This couple can't be called losers, however, when compared to the ones who were married in a Miami county jail. Immediately after they exchanged the vows, "Until death do us part," they were separated. The groom was whisked to a penitentiary where he'll serve ten years for armed robbery. Meanwhile his bride was taken to a women's prison, where she'll spend two years for being an accomplice. Even city officials can be losers. A lady called the mayor of St. Laurent, Quebec, to complain about her neighbour's noisy duck. It's quacking was driving her out of her mind. But the mayor couldn't find a bylaw governing ducks, Then she added that, besides the duck, her neighbour owned a noisy old car. He was always pounding on it, and the jalopy roared and back-fired. The mayor sent a notice to the man in question. A few days later the defendant brought his duck to the mayor's office to prove it wasn't noisy, The duck uttered an occasional faint quack, and the mayor agreed it wasn't loud enough to disturb anyone. The two men shook hands, and the visitor left. He plopped his duck into the rumble seat of his Model A and drove down the street. The car roared and back-fired all the way. Then the mayor remem- bered the lady's other complaint - the one about a neighbour's noisy car. Losers, take heart! You're not alone.
