scottheisel Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 http://www.cleveland.com/world/index.ssf/2009/06/israeli_woman_mistakenly_junks.html The best part: The woman told The Associated Press that she bought her elderly mother a new mattress as a surprise present on Monday -- and threw out the old one.The next day, she said, she remembered that she had hidden her life savings inside the old mattress. "I woke up in the morning screaming, when it hit me what happened," said the Tel Aviv woman, who asked not to be identified. How in the fuck do you FORGET your mattress has your life savings inside?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benc Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 That story isn't clear. What happened was a woman bought her mother a mattress. The mother had stored her savings in it and then remembered after she woke up in the new one. The daughter never knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 You're right, it is poorly written, but still -- how do you forget your life savings is in the mattress your daughter is throwing away?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthemjfan23 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 the better question is this: if you have $1 million in life savings, why is your daughter buying you a new mattress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieruckus Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I want this mattress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benc Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Haha, true! Also, I know that stashing the cash probably has something to do with having survived the Holocaust. But it's time to get a savings account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 and why would you really keep one million in cash in your home. chance of burglary or fire are a bit too high for me to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 There's always money in the banana stand! This is why I meticulously dismantle everything I throw away. I once spent a month smashing a television into tiny pieces. It's illegal to throw a TV in the trash in Colorado ... but not TV parts!

cj Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Lets think about this. It only says 1,000,000 so i'm sure its not 1,000,00USD its 1,000,000 Israeli Dollars. I did a little work and 1,000,000 Israeli Dollars is roughly 250,000 USD. Still a kick in the nuts but only at about 1/4 as hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kouka Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 It's illegal to throw a TV in the trash in Colorado Seriously? I think Maryland too, you have to take them to the dump. I guess they have mercury in them (same as computers or monitors, i think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
