A true story
out of San Francisco:
A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and
wrote "this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag." While
standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry
that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he
reached the teller's window.
So he left the Bank of America and crossed the
street to Wells Fargo. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note
to the Wells Fargo teller.
She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors
that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not
accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit
slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go
back to Bank of America.
Looking somewhat defeated, the man said,
"OK" and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting
in line back at Bank of America.
Don't bother with giving this guy a sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.
