Spray Pain

Bungled Robbery Is A Real Tear-Jerker

A pair of bank robbers in Poland burst into tears and collapsed choking after they tried to use pepper spray on a cashier in front of an air conditioning unit blowing out warm air. The air conditioner blew the spray back over the pair, who staggered from the bank in Wroclaw empty handed.

FOOTNOTE: Don’t tell the pepperazzi.

Beware The Pepperazzi

Pepper? Just Take It With A Grain Of Salt

Since this week's Photo Hunt subject is "Original", I was tossing up between several images. Then I decided to kick up my heels and have some fun, indulging in my own originality. I decided to twist a very common word - paparazzi.

The word "paparazzi" gained common acceptance in the English language after the release of the movie "La Dolce Vita". Marcello Rubini, played by Marcello Mastroianni, is a gossip writer who hangs out with opportunistic photographers who take pictures of celebrities and sell them to the tabloids.

So I dug out all the pepper I could find in the house ... and some of the cameras as well!
