Book of Heroic Failures
Anyone remember this?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...541352-8627667
I still have my copy, my son's been chuckling over it in the last few months.
I thought of him today when I saw the news story of the junkie who tried to rob a betting shop with a poorly hidden banana:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/st...439317,00.html
"Robert Downey's harmless weapon was so badly disguised in a plastic bag, which revealed both its colour and tell-tale bend, that his victims carried on chatting as he screamed: "I want the money or I will effing shoot you."
Downey was told by Judge Paul Dodgson that the fruit gun had at least saved him from a life term, because it was so absurd that no one had been frightened. "

"The official handbook of the not terribly good club of Great Britain"
Happy memories of that book:
- The paintscraper in the torpedo bay.
- "They couldn't hit an elephant from that dist"
- The dog mine.
- The eye protection safety film so dangerous it was banned.
