MURDER AT WAL-MART

Tired of being broke and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a man took out a large insurance policy on his wife, with himself as the beneficiary, and then arranging to have her killed.

A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with an underworld figure who went by the name of 'Artie.' Artie said his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000. The husband said he was willing to pay, but wouldn't have the money until he could collect the insurance. Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down payment.

The next day, Artie followed the woman to the local Super Wal-Mart Store. He surprised her in the produce department and strangled her with his gloved hands. As the poor woman slumped to the floor, the manager of the produce department stumbled onto the murder scene. Unwilling to leave any witnesses behind, Artie strangled the manager as well.

Both murders were captured by the store's security cameras and observed by the security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could leave the store.

Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the husband who was quickly arrested. The next day, newspaper headline declared: ARTIE CHOKES 2 for $1 @ WAL-MART!
