WEIRD & BIZARRE : Weird & Bizarre April 2003 Employee at Fault BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - One man's trip to the bank turned into a very long weekend. Roberto Lifsitz spent 66 hours in a bank vault after staff forgot about him while he attempted to retrieve money from his safety deposit box. He was trapped from 4 pm on Friday until 10 am on Monday, when he was found by a security guard. With only a pack of biscuits to tide him over, Lifsitz was forced to urinate in plastic bags in case extreme thirst overcame him. "Luckily it didn't," he added.  Although the bank's employees are to blame for his horrifying ordeal, Lifsitz will not be suing the bank. Perhaps it might be a good idea for Roberto to look into getting an ATM card. Fire Starting Feline BERLIN, Germany - In the northwest town of Luedenhausen, a family pet managed to endanger its family and save their lives all in one night. A black-and-white cat named Mimi was playing in the family kitchen when it accidentally switched on an electric oven, igniting a stack of papers. Fortunately, the clever feline was able to awaken the family by meowing loudly and pushing heavy objects on the floor. A police spokesman quoted, "Mimi saved the family. There would have been a major fire had she not raised the alarm." Had it never been for Mimi... nothing would have happened. Will Work For Perm GRONINGEN, Netherlands - An overabundance of clients is putting a beauty salon in jeopardy. The Dutch salon for homeless people and tramps is facing closure, as it struggles to find enough companies to donate the necessary products it needs.   The lack of shampoos, hair creams and other beauty supplies may put the place under. One spokesperson added, "We especially need razor blades, clippers and socks. Especially socks because we need them for tramps to wear after having a foot care session." With at least five clients each day, the salon needs help. Not having a home is one thing, but not being able to get a pedicure is just downright inhumane. BACK TO TOP
