Elderly Viagra thief strikes again

laugh of the day

[Shakil]

MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - An elderly man has robbed a pharmacy in the southern French city of Marseille for the fourth time in less than a year, each time making off with its full stock of the anti-impotence drug Viagra.

Each time he strikes, he appears at closing time armed with a knife and marches the three female members of staff to the cupboard where they keep the coveted blue pills, Marseille police said.

He then leaves quietly with his stash and the day's takings.

Police said they did not know whether the thief was stealing the Viagra for his personal use, or to resell the pills illegally with a hefty premium.

nice to see that no matter how HARD i try, this post just keeps RISING to the top.

Does the size of the post amount to anything, or is that just a myth? And if you read this post too many times, will it make you go blind, or is that just a myth, too?

Viagra Theft on the Rise Amid Swelling Public Outcry

Are local police agencies up to the task?

Spike in pharmaceutical thefts arouse discussion of inflating crime rates.

City leaders head investigation to curtail the increase of blood flow.

Thanks for the welcome, lawman. I've been lurking and learning for about 6 months now, so I'm well aware of the class of this forum.

Oh, I think we can play with it for a while. No one wants this to end prematurely.

You know, I think there's a hidden limerick somewhere in this story. "There once was an old man from France..."

with little blue pills in his pants....

If he's caught and goes to trial, the jury will probably be deliberating long and hard on the case. And if convicted, he'll definitely be serving some hard time.

I saw a piece where one of the three female assistants mentioned earlier described him as a "slippery customer".

There was an old man from France
With little blue pills in his pants
When asked why he stole them
He just smiled and told them
They're quite a boon to romance.

lol ghost... that's good.

There once was an old man from France,
with little blue pills in his pants....

Due to threats from his wife,

He ran out with a knife...

But returned with a proudly held lance.

There was an old man from France
With little blue pills in his pants
He sprang into action
Past a three woman faction
To relieve of his pants their ants.

It's just too hard to resist...

There was an old man of Marseille,
who burgled the pharmacy nigh...
He emptied the till,
took the little blue pills,
and 'turned home with his head held up high.

[digitalghost]

ROFL and I HATE Limericks. :)

Clearly the problem has gotten out of hand. If the staff had a firmer grasp on the situation, he could never have slipped out so easily.

With proper training they should be able detain him for a far longer stretch, at least until the the authorities can catch him in the act.

I say we carry on at this rate, 1 of a few things may happen:

1, Pfizer takes us to court.
2, Pfizer appoints us as their marketing team.
3, Overture start running CPC results for related "keyword"
4, This page becomes #1 on Google for Viagra (beats most of the crap there at present)

There was a French pharmacy shop,
who's selection of pills was the tops...
When a little old man,
with a knife came and ran,
away with the wives' favorite stock.

An old man in France stole Viagra
His unit dropped like the falls at Niagara
His wife wasn't pleased
She will now be appeased
He now stands like that temple in Agra

(Agra is where the Taj Mahal is. That is one of the only words I could find that rhymes with Viagra)

>This thread is absolutely incredible.

As long as it's not too hard on bandwidth.

I'm sure we can keep it up. The only problem is the Americans. Isn't Thanksgiving the time to give the bird a good stuffing?
