Joel
my good friend Becky
and myself
We were innocently walking to Blockbuster to rent a movie, when Joel and I spotted this beautiful chest of drawers that was just sitting of the sidewalk calling to us to take it home. So we said, if its there when we get back we will carry it home to our flat. It was the perfect color, perfect size, everything was going as planned. Then we were walking back from the store of "Rental Madness" (that is their advertising slogan!) when we saw it there. Begging us to take it off the cold hard concrete. It was too heavy for us to carry ourselves so Joel said he will bring his luggage cart back to carry it home. Becky and I were happy with this because then we didn't have to carry anything big!! So Joel goes off to get our brand new FREE furniture. But what does he do? Comes back EMPTY handed!! So I yell out the window,"where is she? Where is the chest of drawers?" He said, "People were moving in, it was there because they were moving it into their flat!!"
Oh the tragedy. That would have been embarrassing, us running away with some-one's new chest of drawers. But now to our defense.... it was just sitting there on the ground with no note or anything, no one was around to claim it. And it was sitting there for at least an hour... we had time to not only go to the house of "RENTAL MADNESS" but argue about what movie to rent, then decide, walk back to our flat, then have Joel walk back.... i tell you what... we should have all three lifted it... it would have been ours!!

Rental Madness is a fantastic slogan. I will try and insert "madness" into one of my slogans. That is so funny that you w***ers tried stealing someone's chest. Oh-say "hi" to Becky for me!
That's hilarious! What did they think was going to happen when they left it on the side of the street?!?!
You would have been known as the missionary thieves.
