TEE HEE HEE

HELENSBURGH, Scotland, May 17 (UPI) -- A would-be diesel fuel thief in Scotland who tried siphoning fuel from a camper put the hose into the wrong outlet and got a mouthful of raw sewage instead.
Glasgow retirees John O'Hare and his wife, May, wrapped up a week of traveling Scotland with an overnight campout Saturday. When O'Hare stepped out of the van Sunday morning, he found a puddle of vomit and an abandoned gas container.
The bungling thief had put the hose into the septic tank instead of the fuel tank, The Daily Record said.
The thief apparently lost not only his lunch, but his lunch money -- abandoned at the scene was a pile of coins that O'Hare said were likely stolen from a vending machine earlier in the night.
