No Laughing Matter

The newspapers reported at the weekend that police forces in Scotland are investigating a spate of thefts - of 'laughing gas' from Scottish hospitals.

Inspector Brian MacFarlane from Lothian and Borders Police was reported as saying:

"If the public come across any canisters that are marked up either nitrous oxide or entonox, then immediately contact your local police stattion and we will deal with them."

At first I thought desperate people were stealing the 'laughing gas' for a cheap thrill - perhaps to help them cope with these harsh economic times.

But no the answer is more prosaic - because boy racers are apparently behind the crime wave - as the gas increases the power output of their cars.

Don't ask me how - as I'm useless with cars and anything connected with DIY.
