Oh god/dess now i've heard everything.
Some guy in the U.K. robbed a betting shop with a vibrator. Seriously. Well, he had it concealed in a plastic carrier bag so people would think it was a gun. Maybe he was helping his girlfriend out with it the night before, she said "Oooh baby you're such a pistol" and he got the idea from that? Maybe he just wanted to get a buzz out of the crime? I dunno. It beggars belief. He got caught anyway, and convicted. You couldn't make this stuff up!
