New Potential Wammer's??????????

BERLIN (Reuters) - Two thieves on the run in Germany made light work for their pursuers when they tried to flee across a drained pond and got stuck so fast in mud they had to be helped out by police.


"They probably thought the pond looked dry and that it would be a handy shortcut," a spokesman for police in the eastern city of Chemnitz said on Wednesday. "But they got totally stuck."


Having released the men from the sludge, police arrested the pair, both Poles in their twenties. The two had earlier given officers the slip after being caught breaking into a car.

Yes, I saw it on Yahoo this afternoon. You have to laugh at the idiots

I bet they didn't look as good as Cede covered in mud.

You've got to love the Polish. In Germany they are always assumed to be thievin', a bit like scousers in England. I have only ever met honest Poles (and honest scousers for that matter), but they do seem to have a reputation.

I will try to translate my favourite Polish joke into english. This is german humour at it's finest, so don't expect much. Really. Here goes:

Have you heard about the Polish triathlon? You walk to the swimming baths and go home on a bicycle!

Good excuse if you get caught by the public when you are shooting though. Cedes claiming she was "running away from the police and got stuck in the mud..."

Then again, running away in seven inch heeled boots? I don't think so.

Ah, I can see the headlines now: "You're Under A Mess: Soggy Bog Pinches Pilfering Poles".
