Hats in Crime

[MK]

A leprechaun sure didn't bring any lucky charms to a Butte, Mont., laundromat.

The Montana Standard reports that a man dressed as one of the wee folk held up the Front Street Laundromat on Wednesday, the eve of St. Patrick's Day.

"It is Butte," Don Heffington, the hapless laundromat owner, told the newspaper. "Butte gets pretty crazy on St. Patrick's Day, and it was probably someone who needed a little bit more money for stimulants."

According to police reports, the evil elf — sporting a black plastic derby, green kilt and fake beard — strode into the laundry shop as it closed and pulled out a pistol.

"Give me all your money or I'll shoot," Heffington said the leprechaun ordered, apparently without a brogue.

Heffington handed over the $322 in the register, and the elf, described as actually about 5-foot-9, went on his merry way, presumably looking for more pots of gold.

:cool2:

Hey MDFrench-

When you gonna change your name to 'Bwana' Bwana?
You certainly recognise a savage when you see one, huh?

And remember, A Hat in Crime saves nine.

Hey there, Macumazahn*, did you know that HRH wrote at least 11 novels about you?

*Quatermain's native name in the book. Monsieur French (pun unrepentently intended) has slipped over the edge and now thinks he is Quatermain. Personally, I recommend he check out the Hataholics thread. GRIN!
