The w0rst of all...

The W0rst Hijacking...
We shall never kn0w the identity of the man who in 1976 made the
m0st unsuccessful hijack attempt ever. On a flight across America,
he r0se from his seat, drew a gun and took the stewardess hostage.
"Take me t0 Detroit", he demanded. "We're already going to
Detr0it", she replied. "Oh... good", he said, and sat down again.

The W0rst Bank Robbery...
In August 1975 three men were 0n their way in to rob the Royal
Bank 0f Scotland at Rothesay, when they got stuck in the revolving
d0ors. They had to be helped free by the staff and, after thanking
every0ne, sheepishly left the building. A few minutes later they
returned and ann0unced their intention of robbing the bank,
but n0ne of the staff believed them. When they demanded 5,000 pounds
in cash, the head cashier laughed at them, c0nvinced that
it was a practical j0ke. Then one of the men jumped over the
c0unter, but fell to the floor clutching his ankle. The other two
tried t0 make their getaway, but got trapped in the revolving doors
again.

The W0rst Homing Pigeon...
This hist0ric bird was released in Pembrokeshire in June 1953 and
was expected t0 reach its base that evening. It was returned by
p0st, dead, in a cardboard box eleven years later from Brazil.

The W0rst Animal Rescue...
During the firemen's strike 0f 1978, the British Army had taken over
emergency fire and 0n 14 January they were called out by an elderly
lady in S0uth London to retrieve her cat which had become trapped
up a tree. They arrived with impressive haste and s0on discharged
their duty. S0 grateful was the lady that she invited them all in
f0r tea. Driving off later, with fond farewells completed, they ran
0ver the cat.

W0rst Speed Trap...
A p0lice officer had a perfect hiding place for watching for
speeders. But he wasn't catching any0ne. One day the officer found
the pr0blem: a 10 year old boy was standing on the side of the road
with a huge hand painted sign which said "RADAR TRAP AHEAD". A
little m0re investigative work led the officer to the boy's
acc0mplice, another boy about 100 yards beyond the radar
trap with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket at his feet, full 0f
change.

W0rst hunters...
These tw0 hunters went moose hunting every year without success.
Finally they came up with a f0ol proof plan. They got themselves a
very authentic c0w moose costume and learned the mating call of a cow
m0ose. The plan was to hide in the costume, lure in the bull, then
c0me out of the costume and shoot the bull. So, they set themselves up
0n the edge of a clearing, in their costume, and began to
give the m0ose love call.
Bef0re too long their call was answered by a bull in the forest. They
called again, the bull answered cl0ser to them. They called again, The
bull answered, and came crashing 0ut of the forest and into the
clearing. As the bulls' p0unding hoof beats got closer the guy in
fr0nt said, "OK, lets get out of the moose suit and get him."
After a m0ment, that seemed like an eternity, the guy in the back
sh0uts "THE ZIPPER IS STUCK, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?".
The guy in the fr0nt says, "I'm going to start nibbling grass, you
better brace y0urself."
