Assume = (Ass, You), or, a Confession in Any Language is Still a Confession When police arrived to investigate a burglary what they found was terrible. A woman hysterical, her window smashed and her most valued and valuable possessions missing. The victim wept as she made a list of the missing items, she had lost everything. Police investigated the scene while the woman calmed herself. When the phone rang the woman answered and switched from speaking english to french. She assumed that the officers did not understand her. She told the caller, her father, that she was in the middle of an insurance scam and went on to give exact details of how she broke the window, planted fake footprints in the flower bed, cached away her goods, and was sure to make a fortune. Constable Charanjit Meharu was among those investigating the crime. Meharu is a Native American who obviously does not look like he speaks french, but he does. In fact the constable is fluent in seven languages. Meharu listened closely as the woman detailed her crime. “She was telling him she and her boyfriend made up the story to make an insurance claim,” Meharu says. “By the end, I had about 10 pages of notes and I said, ‘Merci beaucoup.’ http://funhappens.blogspot.com/
Truth is stranger than fiction. After a hard days work I like to chill out with ridiculous accounts of other peoples follies.
