That’s How the Criminal Crumbles

DUMB: Wanting to steal a cake. DUMBER: Stealing a cake. DUMBERER: Stealing a cake and leaving a trail of crumbs for police to find back to your hideout where police find your sorry puss covered in icing.
Sylva, N.C. (AFP) — Thieves who tried to rob the Sylva, North Carolina police station in the US were nabbed after leaving a trail of cake crumbs behind.
Sylva Police Detective Aimee Sumner says the two suspects were arrested on January 6 only hours after they stole flag poles, flags and a sign during their attempted break-in at the station.
“They had cake and icing all over them,” she said.
Anyone care to guess the motive? That’s right, alcohol! Who gets drunk and craves forbidden cake? This sounds like a dastardly plot by those unemployed “Sex & the City” girls! Sounds like it’s that time of the month…for justice!
They even had witnesses at the restaurant who spotted them snatching the cake. And no, I don’t mean the kind of snatching the cake that you did after your senior prom.
Both received charges of misdemeanor conspiracy and breaking and entering. Don’t they mean BAKING and entering? Heh heh heh…(This message has been brought to you by the Partnership for a Pun Free America.)

Man! Both of you are dumb! Grammer isn’t copying Mike. He was correcting Mike’s multiple misspellings and grammatical errors in a very comical fashion. I mean, c’mon…… Here’s a guy who is calling someone dumb, and he misspells dumb (among other things)!! I think it’s funny………..

Sounds like the time my grandma made cupcakes for her kids (there are 8 of them) and one of her daughters (my aunt Terri) went and licked the frosting off of every single one and when my grandma asked who did it she said “It wasn’t me.” while standing in front of her mom with a face covered in chocolate icing. Of course it wasn’t theft, wasn’t in a police station, and she was like 6 or 7. I can’t believe adults stole cake for crying out loud! My aunt earned the nickname Choco-loco-lick from her siblings for what she did and was teased unmercifully by 7 other kids for a long time, hell they still tease her about that from time to time.
