"Man Robs Mentor Bank, Flees"

People get paid to come up with this stuff? So let me get this straight... He robs a bank, and then instead of sitting down to eat a connoli (like most of us would) he fled?! That guy must be a total whackjob!

1. i have a friend who robbed a bank and then took a leisurely walk

i think it was a cry for help.

2. That is what it sounds like.

3. Well yes, that happens

But in most cases they flee. I guess I just find things funny that aren't. :) But at least it keeps me happy.

4. i thought it was funny

but it did make me think of my poor, lost friend too.

6. I knew a guy

He attempted to rob a bank with a note that read "I have an atomic bomb". He had a really bad drinking problem. He is sober now, but he got pretty bad. The atomic bomb note didn't work. I think that was a cry for help too.

5. Flee ? ...

What the hell does that mean.

When I go to a bank to do my normal banking, you can say that when I am done, I will flee.

How fast do you need to be moving, to be considered fleeing ?

7. That's a good point

They could have said "Man robs bank and flees faster than the ones who didn't".
