How not to hold up a bank


First, don't assume everyone will be intimidated!

Armed with a realistic plastic replica handgun, a 34-year-old man on Friday attempted to rob a bank in Trimble, Mo., according to police.

I would say "That'll teach him" . . . but idiots like the criminal concerned seldom learn from their mistakes.  This one was very nearly terminal for him.  Let's hear it for the armed citizen who stopped him!
