It would be fun if they dumped them on the person who returned the painting just like they used to do the ping pong ball drop back on the old Captain Kangaroo show. Although it might kill them if not dropped gradually. Still, I’d volunteer for the test run. ---

Now, it would be really ironic if the candies _were_ called Munchies. I’m also glad that no one is intent on stealing Hieronymous Bosch paintings – what’s up with everyone stealing _The Scream_ all the time? ---

[/QUOTE] The thieves always give up when they try to write the ransom note: We have a very valuable Hironomus… We have a very valuable Heronimous… We have a very valuable Huronmnious.. Screw it, let’s go for that _Scream_ painting again. It’s not very well guarded anyway. Stupid Norskies! ---

[QUOTE=Ludovic] Now, it would be really ironic if the candies _were_ called Munchies. [/QUOTE] You could say the irony would be delicious. It might be even better if the reward was a supply of Munch Nut Bars - but that could be funny on too many levels. ---

**Kythereia** , you’re a genius. [QUOTE=Annie-Xmas] Please do not mention “kisses” and “the head of Osama bin Laden” in the same sentence. [/QUOTE] Just as long as you don’t mention “Hersheys” and “chocolate” in the same sentence. (Personally speaking, I think dropping two tons of Hersheys doggy doo on Bin Laden’s head would be almost just punishment.) ---
