Lightning strikes peeping Toms

As if it was divine retribution, three men were struck by lightning while they peeped at a pair of passionate lovers having sex in a car in a hillside area in Taipei.

Hiding in a broken hut and each using a high-powered telescope, the three were so oblivious as they watched the lovers' act that they did not notice lightning flashing in the sky before a bolt hit the hut, police said yesterday.

"All three were hit at the same time, but survived as they appeared to have evenly shared the impact of the super-high voltage electric current when the lightning struck," a police spokesman said.

The officer said the three, who remained speechless for several hours, suffered minor burns in the skin of their hands and legs, while their hairs were all standing and their stares were fixed.

Doctors later said the three had a narrow escape because if there had been only one of them in the hut, the one struck would have been killed instantly.

As for the lovers, they quickly drove the car away after the lightning flashed and heavy rains started pouring down - without even knowing what had happened, the officer said.

"they did not notice lightning"

Of course not, they had caused themselves to go blind before that.

No, they were not blind, but maybe they just needed glasses.

That'll teach 'em.

[wimpycat]

Until next time, that is.

"Great screen name....can I have a million dollars?"

Thank you for the compliment, but I must say, after that little piece of civility you quickly moved into the "gimme" phase.

Unfortunately, it will do you no good. I must warn you that even such flattery and your winsome good looks a6intruder will not get you added to Michael Anthony's list.

Mr. Anthony is no longer in my service. He said he was bored giving all those millions to worthy people such as you, a6intruder. Instead he has hooked up with that young scamp, Dick Clark, and has joined his Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol.

So though you might keep looking down you driveway for Mr. Anthony, he will no longer be coming here to Silverstone on his way to find his "next millionaire".

On many occasions I was able to summon Michael Anthony to come to my palatial estate, Silverstone, to receive his next assignment. Unfortunately, his scoundrel of a cousin, Mordred "Tex" Anthony had me mortgage Silverstone and invest in Enron. I am now trying to get handouts from all those very same millionaires that I created, but because I did it anonymously, they think I'm a con man and slam the door in my face.

Now it's "the old dog for the hard road."

They didn't notice the lightning because they were fighting over the only telescope in the hut.
