A group of elderly Germans were charged with illegal kidnapping and grievous bodily harm after they abducted their financial adviser and chained him up in a cellar for four days during which they tortured and abused him.
American-born James Amburn, 56, was ambushed outside his home in Speyer, western Germany, bound with masking tape and bundled into a car boot after being bashed in the head with the Zimmer frame of an elderly client.The kidnappers, upset by losses of nearly $1 million, face a minimum of five years in jail if convicted.''It took them quite a while because they ran out of breath,'' said Mr Amburn.

What is the deal with the German elderly? First my grandmother brings up OLD PEOPLE SEXTING at the breakfast table day-after-Thanksgiving, now this. It gives new meaning to the word GROSSeltern, amirite?!
Großartig.
Make this into a movie with Mel Brooks, Elliot Gould, Jack Nicholson, Steve Buscemi and William H. Macey and you got a Revenge Porn hit on your hands...
I am going to start importing my masking tape from Germany, it is clearly top of the market.
There should be a German word for this.

The American had moved to Germany so he could start a company called "Digitalglobalnet."

That's what he gets for taking more than his share of pink Canada Mints, the bastard.
What's a 'Canada Mint'? Those little pillow-shaped ones they have in the bowls at the exit of the IHOP?
No, those are delicious.

They're only eaten by Olds and they taste like nothing except themselves.
They taste like Pepto-Bismol. I keep a bag in my desk drawer.
He should have said "green balloons"…
