Sam, You Missed the Boat

A few months ago, there was a news release about Sam, a Dorito stealing seagull. He helps himself to bags of Doritos from a party store. Customers continue to pay for them, enabling Sam to continue his life of crime.



Now where was he when a ship lost a cargo container carrying bags of Doritos and they washed ashore the Outer Banks of North Carolina?


And in other news:

Sunshine, the bearer of buttons, has struck again. She was kind enough to give me a "You Make Me Smile" award ... along with her latest button "Internet Entertainment without Porn". Thank you Sonia ... I'm wearing them right over there <---- along with the rest of the bling.

I might train a flock of these gulls. Get them to do my week's shopping.

Linda: as long as you want Doritos =)

Oh dear - has the Coast Guard done training for containment of Dorito spillage?

Joan said...

I didn't know about the Doritos. You know more about what's going on here in NC than I do.

Must have been a slow news day :o)

mary alice: I trust they have it under control... they brought in the big screens, recliners, and old football game tapes.

joan: I bet you're just waiting for the "Lays" to come ashore.

michael: eh, it's all old news anyway.

We were at the zoo, many years ago, and having lunch. My oldest was about 5 and was sitting in such a manner that he was holding his PB&J over his shoulder. A goose crept up behind him (a huge goose -- obviously a bully) and snatched his sandwich out of his hand.

It was sort of funny ... until the tears started.

I tell you these seagulls are getting bolder and bolder. They walk right up to you on the beach bold as brass, but to shoplift?!? Woo hoo!!

That seagull is out of control! LOL!

Lys said...

I wonder if we could train that seagull to swipe coffee ;)
