French robber steals cash by baring breasts

If I were to get mugged, this is the way I am thinking I would wanting it to play out.  Just saying…

Paris, France (CNN) — A man in France was stripped of 300 euros when a robber distracted him with her breasts, authorities say.

Police say on August 7, the man inserted a card into a cash machine in central Paris to withdraw money when two young women approached him and asked for money. The women waved a newspaper at the man in an attempt to distract him, but the technique didn’t work.

So the women tried another strategy: One of them bared her breasts and put her hand on the man’s genitals while the other took the opportunity to withdraw 300 euros, police said. The women fled and have not been identified.

Michael J. Fox on 'This Week'

Stephanopoulos: You know, in your book, "Lucky Man," you
really are unsparing in your description of the horrors of this
disease. But you also make it seem almost like a gift. Do you still
feel that way?

Fox: That’s unique to me. I’ve
been so incredibly blessed in my life. So lucky. So gifted with amazing
things — my family and my wife; my career; the things I’ve seen; the
people that I’ve met. And I found myself in this unique
position of although I’m facing this, and I’m dealing with it, and
it’s, and it’s not what one would pick out of a catalogue. It does
provide me an opportunity to make a difference and to do positive
things. And for that I have to be grateful and humbled by that
circumstance.

Character is so rarely found today in
public life these days that when someone has it he shines forth more
brilliantly than diamonds and more valuable.

Take this lesson to heart. Life is about the "opportunity to make a difference and to do positive things" and if your life is not about that then you need to re-evaluate your life.
