Ha, those stockings made the news in the US too ;-)
Well, you're right about that not being a headline you'd ever expect to see!
You just have to wonder what is going through the mind of someone as dumb as that fishtank thief. Duh!
Where can I get a pair of those hairy stocking?
Feel better!
Oh my goodness, I can't believe those stockings are real! HAH!
Hi Tracy,
I guess that the unemployed worker who refused to wear a hat if he was given the job in the bakery, just wanted to 'have his cake and eat it'!! SORRY!
A great post for a few belly laughs, as usual. I hope that you are feeling back on par very soon.

Yeah, that's my first vagina / penis costume headline, too!
So many jokes about that penis/vagina story. LOL
Oh and the hairy legs. Unfortunately it wouldn't stop the truly perverted. :P

Wow! it is really a good idea of looking bad with those socks :)
I think that is helpful for women to save themselves from the unwanted attention :)
The hairy legs - uch are repulsive.
