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 the Wells
Fargo Bank.
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.
