Talking Honesty pays --- big time !

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20081204...aw-dba1618.html

A co-worker said: "I just hope he pieces enough of the notes back together to get a round of drinks in at the work Christmas do. Christmas is only around the corner, so any bonus will be welcome."

Weird, really, that someone would cut up a pile of banknotes and then dump them. There's something strange in this story but we'll never know the truth.At least, he'll have something to do on those nights when there's nothing on TV.
