The Not So Great Bank Robbery

With her walker the eldery woman went through the bank doors, smiled a crooked false teeth smile at the guard, and proceeded to the line for the only available teller.

Handing a note to the teller the old woman’s smile dissapeared.

The teller looked at the seemimly benign senoir citizen before her and said, “are you serious ma’am?”

“Dead serious”, she replied, “and make it snappy missy.”

Silently the teller pushed the alarm.

Johnny, in the Mazda outside ,heard the sirens and drove away as quicky as possible.

Inside, sensing something was wrong, the old would be bank robber pulled out a Glock and aimed it at the teller who sounded the alarm.

“Everybody , on the floor,”she yelled like some line from a bad Hollywood film.
They nonetheless obeyed.

The hostage seize lasted twenty minutes when the old woman was felled by a heart attack.
