You'd better get the protection plan on that iSpud, man. Those things always end up breaking down eventually.

FTFA The suspect was a chubby white man in his forties who had dark blonde hair and an Irish accent.

I'm sure that narrows it down a bit. How many chubby middle-aged guys can there be in England?

HOLD on hold on just hold the fark on. That story HAS to be bullshiat.

I've never heard of an Irishman letting go of a bag of potatoes.

Whats the point, there's gonna be a new iSpud in like 6mos. Just wait for the newest version. So dumb.

The accent was fake. No true Irishman would give up his potatoes.

unlikely: "Police are urging people not to give money to strangers for goods that they have not checked or even seen."

Police also suggested that citizens avoid stuffing their mouths full of firecrackers and setting themselves on fire. In related news, the coast guard is recommending swimmers to reduce - if not completely do away with - the amount of seal blood they rub themselves down in before entering shark infested waters.

Local government has yet to make an official statement on other or not citizens should continue to leap from roofs into the compactors of garbage trucks, but one is expected to be released soon.

Good point. However, an Irish accent is considered one of the first indicators that you may be dealing with a con man in England (don't give me any crap for saying this, I'm part Irish on both sides of my family tree), so I doubt he was faking it.
 
2011-11-09 01:03:32 PM
I bet he was boiling mad when he found out he'd been fooled.

Many of the iPad users I deal with on the phone every day might as well be better off with potatoes, those are harder to screw up.

Seriously, an iPad is much less than a pound... I cant find a single potato that is lighter.
 
2011-11-09 01:04:18 PM
Anyway, like I was sayin', iPotato is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, iPotato-kabobs, iPotato creole, iPotato gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple iPotato, lemon iPotato, coconut iPotato, pepper iPotato, iPotato soup, iPotato stew, iPotato salad, iPotato and potatoes, iPotato burger, iPotato sandwich. That- that's about it.

yeah, I actually thought the story went more like this...

Wife, "Why did you take out 200 pounds from an ATM near the red light district last night?"
Idiot, "umm... An Irish man tricked me. I thought I was buying you an iPad (it was a surprise, I know how much you wanted one), but instead he gave me this sack of potatoes. What do you think we should do, call the police?"

/much more likely scenario.

Random Anonymous Blackmail: Seriously, an iPad is much less than a pound... I cant find a single potato that is lighter.

I suspect this was a bag of fingerling ('baby') potatoes.

OR:

After spending £200 at the local peeler bar, local man has to come up with a story fast.

Personally, I'd take the bag of potatoes.
At least you can plug a USB into one.

"Oi, that look like a bloody bag of potatoes!"

"That's just the screensaver. My flatmate works a potato field and I tossed 'er on there for him."

"Oh, well, that's fine and dandy then.."
 
2011-11-09 01:10:57 PM

Police: "Wait, we seriously have to explain that? Damn, people."

iDaho.

you can see where the confusion came from

Seriously, how idiotic do you have to be to buy expensive electronics with cash off some guy who comes up to you in the street? The guy deserved a bag of rotten potatoes for being stupid. If some guy on the street is offering you a sweetheart deal and wants cash for something that sounds too good to be true, it's because he's farking scamming you.

Some years ago, I was at Home Depot pricing something for my office. The car I was driving at the time had some significant rear-end damage to it. Well, some guy comes up to me, and offers to repair it IN THE PARKING LOT while I'm in the store! Sounds great! He's got a story: Him and his son used to work at a body shop, but they both got laid off, so now they're "freelancing" where they can. He's got all the tools to do the job in his truck. Amazing! I only have to pay half up front, and he's only going to charge me $400 to fix it! I can't believe my luck!

So I figure I'll waste some of his time.

I want to see his truck, his tools, does he have a license to do this sort of work? Can I call his former employer? And how long is it going to take? Can I meet his son, since I want to know who I might be hiring, etc. I'm getting paid for my time (since I'm doing office business) so I don't care. He dances around in circles, his son has his truck right now and he's across the street (can you call him and have him come over? Oh, I see, he doesn't have a cell phone, but he's going to know that he has to come over here to fix my car?) and I really shouldn't call his former employer, since the guy fired him and he has an age discrimination lawsuit pending, and fired his son just to be a jerk. I must've wasted a good hour of his time (time I was paid for). After telling him I just couldn't trust my precious 1991 Ford Escort POS with anyone, I drove to another nearby Home Depot since I was fairly sure I'd go back to my car to find my windows smashed.

/cool story bro

He should have been on Dark Lane so late at night. Everyone knows that's dangerous situation.

2011-11-09 01:42:26 PM
Let me guess... he got the revelation after an hour of trying to plug it in to charge it?

imfallen_angel: Let me guess... he got the revelation after an hour of trying to plug it in to charge it?

It was probably right after he opened the bag and counted to potato.
