Whatta week My daughter was in a bank last friday. While it was being robbed.
I have to tell you. The robber went up to a desk, asked for a loan. It was around 4:3O or so and the lady said he needed to come back on Monday. He indicated having a weapon (apparently a knife, from the crime blurb in the paper) and told her to get 200 bucks from a teller. He then proceeded to make his getaway on a bicycle. (And the police hardly broke a sweat finding him easily minutes later.)
Now if YOU were going to rob a bank, wouldn't you think 200 bucks was a tad low for 15 minute's work?
Oh, I had enough leftover hair for about three toupees, I think. Brushing all that aside, I look better now. I didn't get it colored tho, as a few gray hares never hurt anyone.
Well, I can't mop-top any of these, so I'll just bee-hive myself and stand a-part 'fro the crowd here. I won't try to hawk another crop of bad puns. That's right, no mo' hawk. If we keep this up, we'll be in a situation I dread, locked in to making wave after permanent wave of bad buns, one after another, bang, bang, bangs.
I think DW is dis-tressed. I hope he doesn't tell us to buzz-off. He might even try to get us banned from the site, and that's the last thing we need for this crew, cuts!
I am also glad every one is ok. And saddened that the bank robber wasn't off the street already. Most criminals are repeat offenders, after all, in fact based on my profiling experience and the available clues (using a knife, the low amount of money, escaping on a bike...) I would have to say that he probably already had a long career of CLIPTOMANIA behind him!
(OH LORDY HE'S GONNA MAKE ME PEE, STOP IT. STOP IT)
Actually that joke was a little long winded, maybe we should delete it from the thread... AFTER ALL IT CAN ALWAYS GO IN THE DIRECTOR'S CUT!
