I recall some years ago a 'criminal' in my town tried to rob the local Building Society with a banana hidden inside a sock... Apparently events then proceeded as follows:
- Bank clerk points out that it's a banana, laughs, yet still puts up the protective metal screen (routine, presumably).
- Robber threatens cashier with a small pair of scissors.
- Robber gives up, runs out into street and attempts to remove balaclava.
- Robber struggles to remove tight-fitting balaclava and, being unable to see where he's going, runs headfirst into the side of a phonebox, knocking himself out.
- Robber is caught, and becomes a local laughing stock.
Alwayts makes me laugh.
Like the robber that made a gun shape with his hand...and forgot to keep it in his pocket.
