Just Because You Rob A Bank Doesn’t Mean You Can’t Be Polite About It
Sometimes you violate the social contract and sometimes you uphold it. And sometimes both at once:
Posted: April 9th, 2011 | Filed under: Queens, Things That Make You Go "Oy"Like a scene from Allen’s classic film “Take the Money and Run,” a nebbishy knucklehead in a black yarmulke allegedly tried to rob a Bank of America in Queens only to give up after the teller refused to comply with his demand note.
. . .
“I am gonna rob the bank,” he allegedly yelled. “I have a gun, but I’m gonna wait on line.”
True to his word, [the suspect] patiently waited for his turn at the teller window. Once there, he allegedly said, “I’m gonna rob the bank.”
He added, “First, I’m gonna pass you a note . . .”, police sources said.
The note didn’t read, “I have a gub,” as in the famous robbery scene from the Allen flick, but it had just as little impact.
When [the teller] balked at giving him money, [the suspect] asked for the balance in his own account, police sources said.
