Retiree flushes cash down toilet

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe....ap/index.html

Flushed about $18,900 down and had another $17,300 to go!

And this was in *cash* (well, German Marks) mind you!

Buy the book before the coin

It doesn't do anything just sitting on the shelf

Hehe ... Actually that happened about two weeks ago but was reported
(here in DE too) just today. And from what I have read here, the man was
somewhat disturbed in other regards too.

By the way, the last sentence of the AP article - "Europeans can still
exchange the old money at their central banks." - is not correct. What
you can exchange depends on country specific legislation.

What a strange word - retiree.

On this side of the pond we would talk about a pensioner.

And on your side of the pond a "pension scheme" is something quite good,
while in the USA "scheme" usually means something nefarious.
