It was the height of British eccentricity, the pinnacle of pyjama culture. A group of misfits and thieves, known only as "The Union Jacks," decided to pull off the most daring heist the world had ever seen. Their target? A pyramid of pyjamas, stacked high in a London department store.
The year was 1965, and the British Empire was still clinging to its fading glory. But on this fateful night, a group of six Union Jacks, dressed in their finest Union Jack print pyjamas, descended upon the department store like a plague of brightly colored locusts.
Armed with nothing but their cunning and a few well-placed whoopee cushions, the Union Jacks infiltrated the store, dodging security guards and befuddled store detectives. They made their way to the pyjama pyramid, where they proceeded to relieve the store of its most valuable commodity: the Union Jack pyjama.
But as they made their escape, they were caught by the authorities, who were less than impressed by their antics. The Union Jacks were forced to face the music, and their leader, a man known only as "The Duke of Pyjama," was carted off to a life of hard labor in the British penal system.
And so, the Union Jack Pyjama Heist of 1965 went down in the annals of history as one of the greatest crimes never committed. But its legend lives on, inspiring generations of would-be thieves and pyjama enthusiasts to this very day.
