How Not To Rob A Bank...

I just had to pass on this gem to you.

In Tokyo, a Japanese man thought of a perfect idea for robbing a bank. Ask the employees how. Who would know better how to rob a bank than those on the inside? So, that he did.

The employee didn't think it wise to give the dude any pointers. The would-be robber was asked to leave. He agreed.

On the way out, the employee escorting him noticed a knife sticking out of his pocket. But wait...what was that...blood? Ya, he also cut himself in his leg with the knife he had in his pocket.

That was the final straw. According to a police spokesman, "He didn't brandish the knife at anyone... but he injured himself in the leg." (Giggles likely ensued.)

So, rather than just leaving, he was awarded with an arrest for illegal possesion of a weapon.

I think this guy should have watched Ocean's 11 (new or old), or 12. Or Heat. Or Bandits. Maybe The Itallian Job (again, either one), or The Mask. Well, heck. PeeWee Herman's Big Adventure - why not? Just about anything would have been better than what he planned on.

I found the full story here.
