Vanilla Pudding Robery

This is just too funny not to share. This is an excerpted from an article, which appeared in the Dublin Times about a bank robbery on March 2.


Once inside the bank shortly after midnight, their efforts at disabling the security system got underway immediately. The robbers, who expected to find one or two large safes filled with cash &valuables, were surprised to see hundreds of smaller safes throughout the bank. The robbers cracked the first safe's combination, and inside they found only a small bowl of vanilla pudding. As recorded on the bank's audiotape system, one robber said, "At least we'll have a bit to eat." The robbers opened up a second safe, and it also contained nothing but vanilla pudding. The process continued until all safes were opened. They did not find one-pound sterling, a diamond, or an ounce of gold. Instead, all the safes contained covered bowls of pudding. Disappointed, the robbers made a quiet exit, each leaving with nothing more than a queasy, uncomfortably full stomach. The newspaper headline read:

IRELAND'S LARGEST SPERM BANK ROBBED EARLY THIS MORNING...


Except it's an urban legend. A clue is that they stopped publishing the Dublin Times about a hundred and fifty years ago, before there were security systems to disable, before audio recording systems, and I'm pretty sure before there were sperm banks.

Except this is an urban myth. The Dublin Times stopped being published over a hundred fifty years ago, before there were alarm systems, audio recorders, or sperm banks.

Its a joke, but if you want to get picky, you wouldn't expect to find many pounds sterling in a Republic of Ireland bank either.
