Well howdy! What a treat to see you. Doesn’t the aroma of fresk-perked coffee just tantalize your nosebuds? Never fails with me. Add to that the wafts from that tray on the top shelf and it’s an experience that makes life worth living, don’t’cha think? Hey, here’s a good one for you. A Lithuanian mayor has taken extreme measures to crack down on the rich who keep parking illegally in his town - by crushing their vehicles with a tank.
A video shows the mayor of Vilnius, Arturas Zuokas, riding atop a six-wheeled military armoured personnel carrier as it flattens a Mercedes-Benz that is parked in a cycle lane.
"That's what will happen if you park your car illegally," he declares after assessing the damage to the car.
The video then shows the driver returning with a look of shock on his face.
The mayor shakes his hand and tells him: "Next time, park your car legally."
A spokeswoman for the mayor admitted the scenes in the video had been staged, however.
Mr Zuokas, 43, said he had released the film because he has "had enough" of the owners of Rolls Royces and Ferraris who think they are above the law.
"I wanted to draw attention to the fact that if you have a car and lots of money, it still doesn't mean that you can park your car wherever you want," he said.
The stunt has drawn comments from across the world with many saying the hard tactic should be introduced in their city.
Despite the video, the mayor's spokeswoman said there were no plans for a tough new law to stop illegal parking. Instead motorists would be hit with the less aggressive option of an infringement notice.
Not to worry, eh…I have no plans to drive or park my midnight blue stretch Lincoln Towncar anywhere near Vilnius! Thanks but…no TANKS!
See ya!

I think they drunk the champagne and surprised they didn’t find any pink elephants as well
