This Is A (bleep) Up!
Unknown
A man rushed into a bank brandishing a gun intending to intimidate everyone by screaming, "Up with your f
- - - - - - hands, this is a stickup." But in his nervousness, it came out, "Up with you sticky hands,
this is a f - - - up". After a short pause, tellers, customers and the bank guard began to giggle and the
thief was so rattled that he left the bank without carrying out the robbery. The bank now has a plaque on the wall
containing the famous phrase (with suitable blank spaces, no doubt).
Locked Out
Unknown
Three friends decided to rob a bank. The plan was for one of the men to go into the bank near closing time and
tie up the clerks, placing them in the vault. The plan went smoothly. The man left the bank and went to get his
two accomplices from the car. In his haste, however, the man forgot to take the keys from the tellers. The clerks
were locked in the vault; the man and his friends were locked outside the bank.
Fog Up
Canada
One winter's day, a juvenile borrowed his friends snowmobile and drove to the local Credit Union. Sporting a full-face
helmet with a shield, the boy walked into the Credit Union carrying a handgun. After demanding twenty-thousand
dollars, boy's shield began to fog up due to the heat inside the bank. Raising the shield so that he could see,
the boy took the money and ran. The teller called the police because she had recognized the boy once the shield
was lifted. She escorted police to the adolescents house where he was immediately arrested.
No License
Durham City, England
In England a gang hired a man to drive their getaway car for a series of bank robberies. As the gang came fleeing
out of the first bank with several bags of money, the man panicked, causing the car to stall. Police arrived in
minutes as the man desperately tried to get the car to start. In court, it was revealed that not only did the man
not have a driver's license, he had never operated a vehicle before.
Miscalculation
France
Recently in France, two criminals decided it was be genius to break into a bank from a neighboring building. They
decided to drill through the wall so they could reach the banks vault. After hours of exhausting labor, they finally
broke through. Upon entering the room, however, they discovered that had miscalculated the location of the vault
and were instead standing in the middle of the restroom.
