Quite the tip

United Press International:
$250B hotel tip worthless in Britain

"We thought we'd won the jackpot and imagined how we'd spend it. Then we realized it wouldn't even buy a penny chew," hotel worker Deborah Heather told The Sun.
The rumor has been floating around that the Mugabe family has a bolt-hole in Asia somewhere and they are planning to flee. The idiot should stand trial and rot in jail for all that he has done...
