Sharing the Savior’s Story

Embarrassing Moment I

Not too long ago, a man wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked in and wrote his note: “This iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag.” While waiting in line to give his note to the teller, he began to worry. Had someone seen him write the note? If so, they might call the police before he could finish the robbery.

He left the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo bank. The clerk at Wells Fargo, having read the note, figured this fellow was not the brightest bulb in the string. She told him she couldn't accept his stick-up note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip. She said he would either have to fill out one from this bank, or go back to the Bank of America. The robber said, “OK,” and left. The police arrested the man as he was waiting in line at the Bank of America.
