This one really made me giggle so I'm sharing it with you...just because it's raining and we could always do with a laugh...A woman involved in a Weight Watchers demonstration at a supermarket has been arrested after shoplifting cupcakes and other items, according to a police report.
I did wonder what a Weight Watchers demonstration would entail...I was imagining placards and fat women shouting "Down with saturated fat"...however, a loss-prevention official told police that Kelly L. Barber, 47, was in the Publix store last week, 
"conducting a demo for Weight Watchers."
The official said she saw Barber conceal store items in a blue bin and leave the store without paying for the goods, which included Weight Watchers cupcakes, a book and teeth-whitening strips.
"When questioned, Kelly explained she just wanted to whiten her teeth and stated it was stupid she stole the items as she had never done this before," the report states.
"Kelly did not have an explanation for all the other items."
Barber, of Fort Pierce, Fla., faces a retail theft charge. Hmmm. I find it ironic and amusing in a sick kinda way that someone representing the biggest, richest weight loss conglomerate in the whole wide world (OK, if you have any arguments about my financial knowledge, please feel free to comment) was caught pinching CUPCAKES...
Now in my twisted imagination I am picturing her class leader reassuring her in a soothing voice, "Now now Kelly, it's alright. They were within your points allowance..."
