The case of the missing lunches!

Fridge Bandit strikes again

INNER-city Toowoomba office staff are looking sideways at each other as a result of the mysterious disappearances of lunches from the staff fridge.

Three times this week a young staffer’s lunch has gone missing, leaving her hungry and cranky.

The Fridge Bandit is obviously well-trained in clandestine raids on the staff kitchen as no-one has yet spotted the food fiend, despite the office having up to 50 people working just outside the door at any given time.

The young lass who found herself the target of a trio of swooping raids this week at first dismissed it as a case of mistaken lunch syndrome but when her much prized caramel apple disappeared she knew a dastardly fiend was at large.

Since sending out a staff email about the disappearing treats, she has received any number of suggestions on how to catch the Fridge Bandit from mixing laxatives into her food and watching for regular visitors to the staff loo to posting an armed sentry at the kitchen door to asking management to install CCTV in the staff fridge.

Any reader suggestions are welcome.

Whispers will provide weekly updates until the Fridge Bandit is apprehended.

Bench press

THERE is no questioning the power of the good lady magistrate.

Waiting for a video link

from the prison so a prisoner could appear before the court this week, the magistrate’s clerk reported that despite repeated attempts to have the prison authorities provide the video link, nothing was doing.

“Tell them that the magistrate is getting a little cranky,” Her Honour whispered to the clerk loud enough for those in the public gallery to hear.

The clerk carried out the instructions and within

seconds the prisoner appeared on the court video screen.

A little knowledge

TRADIES working at a Downs hospital were washing their hands upon completing their work.

Lathering up with a gooey cleaning agent, one tradie spied the bottle from which it came to note that it read “perineum cream”.

Confused, he Googled “perineum” on his phone

and, hence learning its description, quickly scrubbed the stuff off his hands.

(You’ll have to Google it!)

Unholy sound

WITH Dad just about to head to the gym early one morning this week, his young son approached advising that there was a strange noise coming from the back yard.

Dad dutifully went to his son’s room and took a peak

out the back but could see nothing.

Just as he was about to leave the room, he heard an unnerving sound like something from a horror movie.

Trying not to look alarmed in front of his young son, Dad told Whispers he was a little shaken himself until he spied two possums wrestling in the back yard and realised what the noise was all about.
