A Very Good Reason for Staying In School

Until "O" levels, at least.

Today's new paper has an article, where a taiwanese man, after being bugged by his fren for abt 1/2 a mth, took $50 from his fren and killed him by shooting him in the chest.

no no, it wasn't a case of aggravated robbery + murder... it was a case of insurance claims gone wrong.

the "victim" hatched a brilliant scheme to claim the max payout from his insurance by getting injured as much as possible... by being shot in the chest. so he started bugging the shooter to shoot him, since he knew the shooter owned a pistol. i guess after the bugging, the $50 given prior to the shooting was a redundant incentive.

and if that wasn't intelligent enough, the "victim" was so smart as to think that his heart was in the right side of his chest, so the shooter was instructed to shoot the left side.

the shooter probably didn't know any better too...

Lessons learnt:
1) everyone shd stay in school long enuff to learn where their vital organs are located
2) ppl who didn't stay in school long enuff to learn that, shdn't own guns, or insurance policies
3) new mkt for mrt stn insurance agents: coverage for faulty education leading to death

hmm... i do know of some ppl i dun mind helping in this aspect... i give discount - $40! for "the poker", i give special discount - $30!!

(backgrd: the poker was in sch earlier this wk. dunno y also. quickly walked past him in the hope he didn't see me, and kena poke. for that, i give the extra discount!)
