*SWAT MAGAZINE ISSUE TEN: OCTOBER 1998* ********************************************************************** | .Dozy Woman On A Train. | | By 3viL ()n!oN | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- True Story: I was heading towards Glasgow Uni on the Underground, with some mates of mine, a few weeks ago. We had taken over one side of the carriage on the Tube Train, and had claimed it for our own. Dozy Woman was sitting directly opposite me. A tenner fell from her pocket and drifted gently towards the floor. She couldn't see it from where she was sitting, but it was in full view of me and my friends. I nonchalantly stretched out, pretending to yawn, and my left foot crept towards the tenner. I stamped down on it, swept it back towards myself, reached down, picked it up and quickly crumpled it like a bit of scrap paper and stuffed it into my pocket. This, of course, was not the most subtle of operations, and everyone one the train knew exactly what I had done....EXCEPT THE DOZY TART SITING OPPOSITE ME!!!! Everyone was, of course, far too polite to point this out to Dozy Woman, and I just sat there with a smug grin on my face. This woman, I soon noticed, had a huge wad of notes hanging halfway out of her pocket. no wonder she hadn't noticed the lost tenner! She probably had a halfbrick in her other pocket just to stop herself from leaning to one side with the weight! This was far too good an opportunity for a thieving bastard like myself to ignore. This woman just so happened to get off at our stop-if she hadn't, I had planned to follow her anyway. We all got off the train and I forced my way through the crowds to stay close to this woman. just as we got off the esculator, a reached out and deftly lifted the entire wad in one fluid movement. And this woman had no clue! Of course, i'm not stupid, there were cameras all over the station. And along all of Glasgow's main streets, come to think of it. So what did I do? I handed this wad of cash (and there must have been £400-£500 there) right back to Dozy Woman, with the classic "excuse me, you must have dropped this" line of bullshit. And what did Dozy Woman do? She gave me £20 as a reward for my "honesty"!!!! I had just scored thirty quid off this woman and she was thanking me!!! So always remember, peeps, your conscience is your third worst enemy. Ignore the whiney little bitch and eventually it will go away. As far as I'm concerned Ethics is a country in the Balkans somewhere. Your second worst enemy is greed. If I had waltzed off with all the cash the pigs would have picked me up within 10 minutes. And your worst enemy? The pigs! Duh!
