A news item from Fresno ("Raisin Capital of the world"), California:

What a strange burglary. In some after-hours clubs in NYC, that would have passed for a proposition.... :D

My neighbors are Hungarian and the first time they invited me over for dinner the appetizer was a very good hard, smoked sausage. When I asked them what it was, they said "Hungarian Night Stick". Maybe that was the weapon in question?

Could give new meaning to the term 'dry rub'. :wink:

Makes you wonder what the perp's motives truly were, doesn't it, Jeff? I think he took the money just as a blind myself, and that the "rubbing with spices" part was his true objective. Your comment reminds me of when a grad school classmate of mine (from Mississippi) wandered into a Lower East Side bar named "The Mine Shaft." He got a glimpse of a whole other Manhattan subculture that day that had previously eluded his scrutiny :P

Oh, yes, that would have been different than the usual :!:

Funny what consenting adults can get up to....

Indeed. Suffice it to say that it fell to me, the comparatively urbane ex-Berkelian, to explain the concept of a golden shower to him. He still speaks to me, so I must've done a decent job of it.
