Armed Robbery 101 

    Evidently not everyone has taken the class. Exhibit A is these two men. They decided to rob a bar. They walked in and demanded the cash from the register at the Monaghan Pub. The thing that these two gentlemen had failed to notice was that there was a group of policemen in the pub having a retirement party for one of their own. 
    The pub owner stated that the police response time to the tempted robbery was extraordinary. Another thing these two miscreants missed was that this bar was across the street from a police station. 
     The good news is that after these two spend five to seven years in the Gray Bar University they will have honed their skills so that next time they will be more circumspect. 

 Success Is in The Details, Or Maybe It Just Depends On The Choice of Beverage 

     Speaking of robbery, in Indiana a man stopped at a gas station, pretended he had a gun and robbed the place. He left with food, drinks, and cigarettes. 
    A little later the police found this genius alongside a road. You guessed it, he was out of gas. 
    However, he wasn’t hungry, nor did he lack for smokes. 
    Now you’d think a guy going into a possibly life-changing endeavor would think through some of the things to consider. 
    You know, like make a list. 
           How do I pretend I have a gun? 
          What am I going to take out of the store? 
          How am I going to get out of town? 
          Make sure I have enough gas in the car to do that. But evidently our guy wasn’t a list maker.
     Oh, did I mention his alcohol level was well over the legal limit.      The fellow was drunk---so common sense, if he did have any to begin with, didn’t have a chance.
