this was in my local paper: last week, a young man went into a convenience store. he said he had a gun and demanded money. he saw a bottle of vodka on the wall behind the clerk and asked for that, too. the clerk asked for proof he was over 21 . he showed his id card. "fine," she said, and gave him the bottle. after he left, she called the police. she told them the name and address on the id card. the police caught the man two hours later. pretty dumb, huh?
