OT: Big Funny!

[Jim Thompson]

Just came over the radio...

Man robs bank right here in Phoenix.

Runs out and jumps in his car.

Won't start.

Tries to flag down assistance with a jump start.

Cops roll up ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

So, what, you're going to tell us they couldn't get his car started?

Well there you go. If the guy had been a Green Flag member he wouldn't
have needed police assistance.

LOL!

My understanding is that the teller who called the police watched the
clown thru the drive thru window and directed the police right to his
car.

Reminds me of one that happened to an a few years ago..

He and a buddy decide to rob a bank. They hand the teller a check that needs
cashing. When she looks at the check (thereby distracted) they jumped the
counter, grabbed as much cash as they could, and ran.

Problem...they left the check on the counter. Bigger problem...he had made the
check payable to his real name!

He spent the next three years as a guest of the state!

Here was a guy, walked into the police station, reported his passport stolen.

Do you have some ID the police man asked?
Sure the guy said, and pulled out his passport.
He was arrested on the spot....

There was also the story of one Clive Dunn (IIRC) who robbed a subpost
office wearing a motorbike helmet. His own helmet. One that had CLIVE
DUNN across the front of it

We had a recent burglary where the perp's wallet fell out of his
pocket at the crime scene and he didn't notice ;-)

The one I find hilarious (although my daughter doesn't)...

Nearly twenty years ago she was an assistant manager at a BankAmerica
in San Diego.

They have a money bundle they hand to robbers that has an RF triggered
"bomb" which sprays the robber with purple fluorescent ink when they
go thru the exit doors.

Robber runs thru the doors and the "bomb" didn't go off.

He sees police and starts running down the street, dropping the money
as he runs.

Little old lady sees the money bundle and picks it up and returns it
to the bank.

Ka-bo-o-o-o-om !-)

What's that about no good deed ever going unpunished???
