Stealing The Limelight

Nice Acting, But There’s No Oscar Nomination

Police chiefs in China have been criticised for hiring actors to rob a bank as a training exercise - without telling anyone else. Only the director and the deputy director of the Zhenzhou police department knew it was a drill - everyone else, including the bank, thought it was a real raid. The good news is that all the "crooks" were caught.

LOL!

I fed my hens on sawdust
They laid eleven eggs;
Out hatched eleven chickens,
But they all had wooden legs!


The metre of your verse a post or two down reminded me of this one :-)

It's a wonder that someone wasn't killed.

What a bunch of lunatics. Imagine if someone had been shot.
