DUMB BANK ROBBER TALE

  A web page tells the following tale of a none-too-bright bank
  robber in San Francisco.  No source is cited, so it's anyone's
  guess if the story is true, but it's amusing nevertheless.

  "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
  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 was not 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. The
  Wells Fargo teller then called the police who arrested the man
  a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of
  America."
