Chuck Norris saves a bakery

[JonLP24]

A POSH bakery in Split, Croatia, has been broken into almost every week.

But not since the shop owners posted a life-sized photo of the toughest man in Hollywood Chuck Norris in the window.

The sign says: “This shop is under the protection of Chuck Norris.”

Now the bakery hasn't had a single burglary for more than a month.

Sales assistant Mirna Kovac said: "To be honest we just started it as a joke but it really has worked. Thieves haven't been anywhere near us for ages. People seem to respect him.

"Everyone around here has seen his films and he's quite a popular character, perhaps even among criminals, so they've decided to leave us alone."

She added though: "We have had a few customers come in and ask us whether they can get Chuck's autograph.

1. Probably helps with the cockroaches, too.... n/t

[Orsino]

2. It's the carboard's convincing acting skills, indistinguishable from those of the Chuck. n/t

3. Yeah, that's smart

put it in the paper that it's a fake. Some people deserve to be robbed <---- slight :sarcasm:

4. Maybe the Croats are just fans of Walker: Texas Ranger.

After all, given what they've been through over the last 20 years, how could Chuck Norris actually scare them?

5. The thieves are just afraid that "asshole" is contagious n/t

[Javaman]

6. not only that, but all the baked goods never spoil, why?

because they are afraid of chuck.

7. That reminds me of the Chuck Norris jokes

I don't know if you heard of them but a couple are 'Chuck Norris can unscramble an egg' or 'Chuck Norris lost his virginity before his dad did'.

8. you mean there's no Lounge Thread devoted to Chuck Norris jokes? How the heck did that happen?

[JonLP24]

9. I didn't intend for that

I was just saying your reference to the goods not being spoiled reminds of the super human Chuck Norris jokes. I wouldn't like to hear them again because I've heard thousands of them. I was just saying you reminded me of them, sorry.

10. Oh, I think those jokes are funny though. I'd LIKE a Chuck Norris Joke Lounge Thread

but if I started one it'd probably just sink.
