You can't make this stuff up...

Was pretty amused this morning while having my coffee and reading the local Taranaki (New Zealand) paper:

"A Waitara man repaid the kindness of a stranger by punching and kicking him before stealing money from his wallet.

"Casio G-Shock Marino was at McDonalds in New Plymouth about 3.40am on August 4, whe he approached the man and asked to borrow a cigarette and a lighter.

The stranger obliged but when he asked for his lighter back Marino refused and told him he couldn't have it unless he let him punch him.

The 22-year-old Marino then demanded the man give him his packet of cigarettes and again threatened to assault him."

His parents must have been WIS's....

In a scenario like that the word "borrow" means "give" and when Casio approached me I would have understood that what he wanted to "borrow" was my wallet and car keys.
I would have immediately looked for something with which to hit him or - if Casio is built like I expect - the shortest route to the nearest exit.

His brother, Invicta Pro-Diver Marino, is always getting in trouble, too.
