WELCOME to THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12th, 2026
HERE’S THE STORY….
The two criminal masterminds planned their heist carefully. They knew the courier would have a
suitcase full of cash. They waited for his car to pass, then pursued him at high speed,
shooting at the vehicle until the courier was forced to pull over.
Bungled Robbery – First Aid Kit
Armed robbers made off with what they thought was a suitcase full of cash – they were in for a
surprise. Back at their secret hideout, the bandits prepared to force the locks and spring the cash.
That’s when they noticed their plan had gone horribly wrong; instead of taking the money,
they made off with a first aid kit. Police spokesman Johann Steinlitz said, ‘If there was an award
for the dumbest crooks they would certainly be in the running. But even though they did not get
what they were after, we are still investigating for attempted armed robbery and endangering lives.
Luckily the courier was not harmed in the incident.’ 🤣😂😁
Have a GREAT THURSDAY’ people, stay safe, and whatever you do,
don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁
GUARANTED TO MAKE YOU LAFF!
A few years ago, I decided to visit my sister who was living in France. I assumed that
most French would speak English. I found that many people spoke only their own
language and this included the ticket inspector on the train. He punched my ticket,
then chatted cordially for a bit, making several expansive gestures. I simply nodded
from time to time to show him that I was interested.
When he had gone, an American tourist, also on the train, leaned forward and asked if I spoke French.
‘No’, I admitted.
‘Then that explains’, she said, ‘why you didn’t bat an
eyelid when he told you that you were on the wrong train.’🤣😂😎
WEDNESDAY’s Movie Trivia of the day!
Why did Paul Newman turn down the role of Judah Ben-Hur in the magnificent 1959 movie “Ben-Hur”?
Answer: The correct answer was He said he didn’t have the legs to wear a tunic.!
The resounding epic “Ben-Hur” starred Charlton Heston as Judah Ben-Hur, a wealthy Jewish prince who is betrayed by his childhood friend Messala (played by Stephen Boyd), who has become an officer in the Roman army in his adult years. Sold as a galley slave, it is several years before Ben-Hur manages to find his way back home again and exact an indirect and terrible revenge on Messala by competing against him in the breathtaking chariot race part of the film. Paul Newman, who was offered the role of Judah Ben-Hur, turned it down because he’d already starred in another biblical type epic with his role in the 1954 “The Silver Chalice”. He stated, tongue in cheek, that the reason he refused the role of Ben-Hur was that, after seeing his performance in “The Silver Chalice”, he realised he most definitely didn’t have the legs to wear a tunic. “Ben-Hur” went on to win a staggering number of Academy Awards – 11 out of 12 nominations – legs and all.

WEDNESDAY’s Quizzler….
A Swaffergy is a word that can be broken up into two parts: a different word and a letter of the English Alphabet.
The word “defense” is a common Swaffergy. It can be broken up into the letter “D”, and the word “Fence”. As a Swaffergy, it would be written like this:
D + A structure serving as an enclosure, a barrier, or a boundary, usually made of posts or stakes joined together by boards, wire, or rails.
Which will give you “D-Fence”, or “defense”.
Can you find the answers to the following Swaffergies?
- D + Plural of 12 inches
- D + A young cow or bull
- D + A narrative of real or imaginary events; a story
- D + Dispatch
- D + French playwright
- D + A surface of an object
- D + Of superior quality, skill, or appearance
- D + A garland of flowers, especially one worn around the neck
- D + What a lamp makes
- D + A displayed structure bearing lettering or symbols, used to identify or advertise a place of business

5. Describe (D-Scribe)

THURSday’s Quizzler is….
I’m called by three letters
Though I have a long name.
I’m in all of you,
But I’m never the same.
I’m all coiled up
So that I am quite small,
But if you stretch me out
I’ll be really tall.
I could be the root
Of certain disease;
If man can unlock me
He’ll solve many mysteries.
