A convict broke out of jail in Washington D.C., then a few
         days later accompanied his girlfriend to her trial for
         robbery. At lunch, he went out for a sandwich. She needed to
         see him, and thus had him paged.  Police officers recognized
         his name and arrested him as he returned to the courthouse
         in a car he had stolen over the lunch hour.

IDIOTS IN SERVICE

This week, all our phones went dead and I had to call the phone
repair people.  They promised to be out between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m.
When I asked if they could give me a smaller time window,he asked
and I quote, "Would you like us to call before we come?"
He also requested that we report future outages by email.  Does
YOUR email work without a telephone line??????

After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus
driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be 
transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting
to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus-stop
and offered everyone in the queue a free ride. He then delivered
the passengers to the mental hospital, telling staff that the
patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies.
The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
