Hard to get mad at this little guy. He may have a career ahead of him as a politician. ;-)


BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | North East/N Isles | Seagull becomes crisp shoplifter
"A seagull has turned shoplifter by wandering into a shop and helping itself to crisps.

The bird walks into the RS McColl newsagents in Aberdeen when the door is open and makes off with cheese Doritos.

The seagull, nicknamed Sam, has now become so popular that locals have started paying for his crisps.

Shop assistant Sriaram Nagarajan said: "Everyone is amazed by the seagull. For some reason he only takes that one particular kind of crisps.""

Y'know, when I first opened this, I thought the seagull got shocked or something by electricity, thus becoming a crisp, fried bird. Then I remembered that the British like to call potato chips "crisps."

Why can't you Brits speak proper English, anyway? ;)
