I'm in ur schoolz, steelin ur salisbury steak.

Ah-nold is on the case.

when you grow up, kids, you can be whatever you want. Except filty lawbreakin criminals. Remember, every time someone robs a bank, recess is canceled.

tin_man: Students don't have any money, so what are they afraid of?

Salty chocolate balls.

vernterv: How much milk money do you think they can get off the kids really??

Kids get beat up for that milk money all the time.

Jeez, how much does that suck???

lima beans: Jeez, how much does that suck???

Apparently not enough. Or not in the right way.

vernterv: Well, then they are probably going to steal all of the little rich kids BMWs from the parking lot.

Erm. It's an elementary school...

So basically if you are planning to rob a bank, pick one near a school, but not too close. Since the police will be all worried about the schools it should make for a good escape.

Baker is a middle school. My 13 year old son attends that school. It is the closest to the bank in question.

/not far from exit 69 - Big Beaver

FTA: Investigators said two black men, both wearing caps and bandanas, white shirts, and khaki pants

They should be arrested for having poor fashion sense, too. You never wear a bandana and a cap at the same time.

Erm. It's an They are elementary schools...

FTFM

/apparently with the exception of Baker.

nowhere in the article did it say how old the suspects were.....i'm just saying, they could counting their money while eating pudding as we speak.

also..."robbed the Fifth Third bank on Rochester Road north of Big Beaver Road."

WTF name is Fifth Third Bank? does that make sense to anyone?

Watch out for the dude with the "long gun". uhhhhhh
Like the one Joker uses in Batman.

There are banks in Troy, Michigan?

natgod also..."robbed the Fifth Third bank on Rochester Road north of Big Beaver Road."

WTF name is Fifth Third Bank? does that make sense to anyone?

Fifth Third Bank was the genius name they came up with when Fifth Bank and Third Bank merged. I shiat you not.

This is much better though- here's how to get to Big Beaver Rd:

KellyLockhart: And you never wear white after Labor Day.

That should get the death penalty.

exit 69 Big Beaver Slippery When Wet

ElegantGoose:

wow, that is gold....pure gold. i'm speachless

The Crepes of Wrath: KellyLockhart: And you never wear white after Labor Day.

That should get the death penalty.

AGREES:

I remember in high school people tried to steal the signs for it..

Like any banks in Michigan have any money.

natgod Thank you, Thank you very much... What's really weird is that my dad pointed that sign out to me when I was, like 17 or 18 or something. He was sort of snickering and I was like, "What?... Ohhh!"

ElegantGoose utilises old Michigan funny.Anyone from Detroit has been making fun of that exit for a long time.

natgod: nowhere in the article did it say how old the suspects were.....i'm just saying, they could counting their money while eating pudding as we speak.

also..."robbed the Fifth Third bank on Rochester Road north of Big Beaver Road."

WTF name is Fifth Third Bank? does that make sense to anyone?

Merger of 5th National Bank & 3rd National Bank about 20 years ago.

Usually written Fifth/Third.

And home of the Toledo Mudhens (last I knew)

thats still the dumbest bank name i've possibly ever heard.

this isn't that funny but thought i'd mention it because i'm bored:
i live in a state that still has dry counties. the first college i went to was in such a county. so, we had to drive about 30 minutes down the road to blackwell to buy booze. that exit was 101. our not very funny joke was our favorite class was blackwell 101.

/had a huge break between my block of classes and calculus 1.
//was pretty drunk for 100% of that class.
///passed.....i think......

The best part of this article is on the right sidebar:

"It's happening inside washing machines. Is it happening inside yours? Hundreds of you asked Ruth To The Rescue for help, so she went right to the top for answers. Is your washer holding clean clothes, or a dirty secret?"

EVERYBODY PANIC

Like woah, I'm working in Troy, MI right now.

Haven't seen/heard anything where I'm at though.

Honestly, I expected more 'big beaver'/exit-69 comments.

/shame it changes names just a few miles shy of 'mound'
// and 'van dyke'

Does nobody remember when Fifth Third was Old Kent only a few years back? I'll probably have to alter my drive today, I go through these areas fairly often.

RaumVogel Hey, I never claimed it was mine. I grew up in the Lansing/East Lansing area, so I was introduced to that a bit later. I mean, I said my dad mentioned it as we drove by the sign. And I also said it took me a second to get it.

Just sharing the joy with people who can't point to their hand to show where they're from.

I'm from Lansing:

Uh, PS, that's not my hairy arm. I'm a girl. With non-hairy arms. I "borrowed" that photo via GIS. :-P

The cops are afraid that the bank robbers are trying to borrow some extra firepower from the kids.

/"You went to public school, so I'll assume you're proficient in small arms."

Errr, SnakeLee are you new to Fark, by any chance? You're lucky this hasn't been turned into a heated debate about Hitler, cats, whether it's ok for female teachers to sleep with male students, the Israel/Palestine issue, or any other random bullshiat banging around in Farkers' minds.

/At least "Big Beaver Road" was mentioned in the article.
//So THERE!
