>A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into

>America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. 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 wasn't 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

>A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and
>demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put
>the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted
>behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the
>bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't
>believe you are over 21."
> The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him
>because she didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his
>driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk
>looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put
>the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his
