Dunna runna

It's been a while since I posted one of my weird German news stories, so I thought it was time to revive that theme. Sure enough, Deutsche Welle has come to the party once more, with a little gem of a story from the delightful Ruhrgebiet city of Bochum:

Q: You're in Bochum (been there, bit of a hole actually --ed.) and you need to visit the nearby town of Herne, making several stops along the way, and then get back to Bochum. What do you do?

A: Easy. Call a cab.

Q: Correct. You come to the end of the journey and realise you haven't got the cash to pay for it. What do you do?

A: Easy. Do a runner.

Q: Correct. After running away from the cab and its irate driver, and having fled into the packed inner city, you need to make your getaway complete by putting a bit more ground between you and the wronged driver. What do you do?

A: Easy. Call a cab.

Q: Correct. Ah, but what if, hypothetically speaking, the same cab you've just done a runner from comes to pick you up?

A: Well, then you're nicked, aren't you.

Correct. Muppet!

Some people are too stupid for their own good. That's Darwinism in action right there. Read the full story here.
