The world's dumbest criminalslHere are this month's stories.Enjoy' and remember to vote for the dumbest!Last month, someone took my coat from a restaurant downtown.In my coat was a wallet, with $50 and two tickets to the next base_ball game. I told the p=olice. well, yesterd"v wrl-s"trro.v-ir," ''Itt,:l ll:-s1T", I went to the. same with iwo poii"Lrn"" .no'f,"r,rnat's nght-the man whg took my coat was there, with his giil_friend. He,was even wearing my coat!'j Now, flowtumn is thit?!My husband is a policeman. He told me this story: Three robbersran into a local bank, shouting, "Hands up! Give usthe money!,'unfortunately, one of the men fell over. l-ie fell onto the other twomen-who also fell over. They got up and shouted, ,,!Ve want$10,000!" The peopre in the bank weren't frightened. They thoughtit was a joke and started raughing. The menlhought that peopre"were laughing because they asked for too much ,i-.,onry. Theydecided to ask for less. ,,We want $1,000!,, they shouted. The peo-ple in the bank laughed even more. The robbeis reduced theamount to $100. Finaily, the men asked for just one doilar each.The people in the bank courdn't stop raughing. one of the menbecame angry. He jumped onto a table. *o*Juur, hefell and brokehis leg. The other two men ran outside ... falling'over my husbandand his buddies. They caught the men, who arJnow in prison.

This was in'my locar paper: one evening rast week, a young manwent into'a convehience:store, He sraid io th" t;;ftivoman,work_!1q t1e1e,,,1Give,rne alf.the rnoney_,,i,He said.he had"a:gun, but hedidn't show it to her. she'put the'money il'"] uuo-J;l "gl;l;-iii;'"him. Then he said he wanted a bottle oi vodka ltJ*., on thewall behind her'The vouns womatn thoughiihi;;;;'; b,.r;u,io,so she said, "No; I don't,think you are tw6nty-one years ord.,, Theman became angry and said he was over twenty_one. The youngwoman still refused to give him the vodka. Finaily, the man tookhis l.D. card from his coat. He showed the young'*oman. ,,Oh,oK"' she said, and gave him the bottle. After he-teft.'she called thepolice. she told them the name and address on the l.D. card. Thepolice caught the man two hours rater. pretty dumb, wasn.t he?

Growing up ChineseI am Chinese, but I live inCanada. I like living here, but Iam also proud to be Chinese.When I had a son, I needed tothink of a name for hirn. Most ofmy friends gave their childrenEnglish names. TheY said a Chinesename would cause problems formy son in the future. I don't agree-I think we have to keep ourculture, or it will die. I want rnyson to have a Chinese name, and tolearn to speak and read Chinese,too. I want him to know Chineseculture. Only a few Chinese PeoPleborn in Canada can speak Chinese-think this is wrong. I want to teachmy son the langu age and culture ofChina-then he will be proud ofbeing Chinese. We live in Canada,but \,ve are still Chinese in ourhearts,
