A gub? You mean a guppy, right? I'm scared to death of those things.

Great reference, subby!

FTA: "According to 3rd District Police Cmdr. George Kucik, the robber handed an employee a note. When the employee had trouble reading the handwriting and sought help from a manager, the robber fled."

I love you subby.

Apt natural.

OK...will someone please explain the gub reference?

"Bananas" or "Take the Money and Run" it all kinds of blurs together.

You HAVE to be stupid to rob a bank.

Of all the ways to steal money, that has to be one of the worst.

 
squidzilla [TotalFark] 2009-03-29 03:17:51 PM  
It's Take the Money and Run.

Virgil Starkwell approves.

 
vudukungfu 2009-03-29 03:17:55 PM  
He'll try to worm his way out of the charges.

 
vudukungfu 2009-03-29 03:19:40 PM  
He said police have added two foot patrol officers in the area.


Midget cops?

"I'm sorry, I have a cold."

 
shaft6969 [TotalFark] 2009-03-29 03:28:14 PM  
and there are few things more fearsome than a gub.

Prank Call of Cthulhu: "I'm sorry, I have a cold."

Well played.

Also, +3 to subby for the sadly slightly obscure reference.

Woody Allen sucks.

The employee should've known that the note had to be initialed by a vice president, and not a manager.

As a former banker, let me assure you a smart armed robber could get more at a bank than just about anywhere else, with less risk. You'd have to know which banks to rob, and when to rob them, but you'd have much less risk than just about any other frequently robbed place. One of my former employers could easily be taken for hundreds of thousands.

I'm glad that they have handgun registration in DC that keeps gun crime down.

Oh wait

"An off-duty Montgomery County police officer was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol Friday night after he allegedly ran into a concrete barrier while driving a take-home police cruiser"

i think subbie missed a better story

Unless you are rueing the sad state of penmanship, I think you may want to work on your gun ragemanship, as I fear you have widely missed your mark.

"A suggestion has been made that we could use an 04 WW Nug. Yeah that's right sir.

A Nug so that we can uh, uh... What's a Nug sir? A Nug is a gun sir. A 40 mm Gun."

"We definitely do not need a nug!"

What good are midget patrol officers going to do?

"The robber, and the rest of the chain gang escapees, got away disguised as an immense charm bracelet."

Great movie!!

I read it as them having 2 feet... that maybe the previous amputees they had on patrol weren't adequate.

I farkibg hate Woody Alleb. His movies are for shiat abd he's bot eveb fubby.

Say what you want about Woody Allen, but I have rarely laughed so hard as when I saw the scene in that film where he's the cello player in a marching band...

I lol'd when the teller says the note has to be initialed by one of their vice presidents. "It's policy."

That's one of the few Woody Allen films I haven't seen. However, I just placed it on my Netflix queue.
