An ode to "A Bank robbers bad day or it must be a Monday". Hank woke that morning feeling like this would be a great day to rob a bank, the stars were aligned and his horoscope read that he was about to run into a large amount of money and he had that tingle in his left leg(the tingle he always gets when it's a good day to rob a bank). So off he went (armed and ready) as he entered 1st Pompous bank of Edina he walked right to the teller. He spoke softly so as not to draw attention to himself "This is a robbery, put all your money in this bag". What happened next took poor Hank completely by surprise. The teller looked up at him with a sharp look of disapproval and said " I am sorry sir but 1st Pompous bank has a very strict policy when it comes to bank robberies, all bank robbers must be apply 30 days prior to the actual robbery may I see your application please? Before Hank could even recover from that shock, the bank teller continued with the following "Sir how did you get in this bank? Your attire is totally unacceptable for the banks dress code, all of our customers are expected to wear formal wear and sweats are explicitly forbidden on bank premises. May I ask what type of weapon you have you with you? Because here at 1st Pompous bank we only allow robberies using Silver or Gold plated weapons". Poor Hanks head was spinning from this exchange, after all, all he wanted to do was rob a bank, did it have to be this complicated? The final insult came as the teller stated with a condescending voice "I'm sorry sir but I am going to have to ask you to leave this bank at once and please don't touch anything on your way out, after all we don't know where your hands have been". Hanks shoulders slumped and he turned to leave, on his way out of the building he knew this was not his day, there weren't even any complimentary suckers for him to swipe on his way out. Some days it doesn't pay to rob a bank.
