NOT A RECOMMENDED SAVINGS PLAN

  On October 16th Reuters report datelined Berlin states:
  "A German man dug a hole the size of a large mattress in a
  park in a vain attempt to recover a 100 euro note he had
  buried a week earlier, police said on Thursday.

  Police in the city of Aachen at first mistook the shovel-wielding
  35-year-old for a construction worker, but were suspicious
  because he was still digging at dusk on Wednesday.

  He told them he had resorted to burying money to stop
  himself buying alcohol but had decided to dig up his savings
  for a birthday drinking session.
