Aprils first? I just have to share...
There is something about this rural community. It attracts its fair
share of artists, ferals, stoners and whackos.
On the evening of April 1st last year a thirtysomething local couple
decided to celebrate by a simple armed robbery on a restaurant up the
hill (that's restaurant, not Macdonalds, OK?) They lived in the flat
underneath the house of a seriously weird friend of mine - the local
wizard. The male was the scion of an old and well known family (a
post-Monsalvat Jorgenson, Wayne).
Not sure just how to go about such things and probably off their
faces anyway, they stuck up a lad coming out of the back at 11pm or
so, carrying some black plastic bags (must be stuffed with money, of
course). There was some confusion, yelling, laughter, etc. and during
that, the male robber managed to shoot his significant other in the
bum and drop the gun. They decamped, limping, bleeding and abusing
each other, with their prize - three bags of stale bread rolls,
leaving the gun behind.
They were picked up by the police at the local hospital some 45
minutes later - the cops knew who they were and were far too amused
to surround the place with megaphones - they just walked in and
tapped them on the shoulder.
About eight years apiece - there were some drug charges as well.
I'm so proud - only here perhaps.
