Shoplifting Seagull

Here's a video of a shoplifting seagull that Scarlet Lily sent me:

A seagull in Scotland has developed the habit of stealing chips from a neighborhood shop. The seagull waits until the shopkeeper isn't looking, and then walks into the store and grabs a
snack-size bag of cheese Doritos. Once outside, the bag gets ripped open and shared by other birds. The seagull's shoplifting started early this month when he first swooped into the store in Aberdeen, Scotland, and helped himself to a bag of chips. Since then, he's become a regular.
He always takes the same type of chips.

Customers have begun paying for the seagull's stolen bags of chips because they think it's so funny.




Promise I'll tell all about the fun weekend with my sisters and brother soon. I'm swamped this week with grading I just haven't quite done. We also have five-week reports due (even though it hasn't been five weeks). They have this giant list of comments to choose from and you just put in the number of the comment, e.g. 208 "Needs to participate more in class", 147 "Not working to potential", etc. If I could, I would publish a new, improved, realistic set of comments, but I don't want to get myself in trouble, as some are not as mundane as "He's doing fine" or "Your kid's awesome".
