A anedota do colchão

«An Israeli woman mistakenly threw out a mattress with $1 million inside, setting off a frantic search through tons of garbage at a number of landfill sites, Israeli media reported Wednesday.

The woman told Army Radio that she bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise on Monday and threw out the old one, only to discover that her mother had hidden her life savings inside. She was identified only as Anat, a resident of Tel Aviv.

When she went to look for the mattress it had already been taken by garbage men, she said. Subsequent searches at three different landfill sites turned up nothing.

The Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot published a picture of the woman searching through garbage at a dump in southern Israel.»

Cá para mim, o colchão velho não tinha dinheiro nenhum. Isto acaba por redundar num esquema para pedir uma indemnização à empresa de recolha de lixo, por inerência, ao Estado israelita e, por último, ou inerência da inerência, ao estado Alemão. A velhinha, certamente, era uma sobrevivente do holocausto.
