Let’s All feel Better About Ourselves: At Least You’re Not This Guy
Greetings all, Steve here today, with another episode of Let’s All Feel Better About Ourselves. I feel the need of a little pick-me-up after Vancouver’s loss in the NHL playoffs last night. I enjoy watching hockey, but I make sure not to take it too seriously. My girlfriend Meghan, on the other hand, had to be given oxygen after the game. Nevertheless, even though the Canucks players didn’t exactly wow the fans with their loss, at least they’re doing better than this guy.
A German man, let’s call him Fritz, who until recently made his living in the ever-expanding field of tricking people into giving their money to strangers, was tricked into revealing his location to German police, allowing them to arrest him. The police, apparently realizing that this man was not a criminal mastermind, called him up and told him that he had won a free case of beer. Yes, that’s right. Shockingly, this modern-day Dr. Moriarty, who was apparently drunk at the time, fell for this ploy and was subsequently arrested. To add insult to injury, the police refused to give him the beer.
So, hey, no matter how your life is going, even if you’re a Vancouver fan, at least you’re not this guy:)
