The following is from the L.A. Times Magazine Nov.11,1990:
Brief anecdotes from the Dumb Crook News an occasional feature
of Out Front from the Charlotte Observer.
Robbery victims inspected a lineup up of 5 men in San Diego.
Each of the men in the lineup were ordered to step forward and
say,"Give me all the money-and I need some change in quarters and
dimes.
The first two men got it right. The third man stepped forward
and said,
"That isn't what I said."
There was a bank robber once that was *so* stupid that he tried to
have the
teller deposit the money he was stealing into his own bank account!
I think don't the police required *any* deduction to find him.
The somewhat dumb but pretty girl in the bank stood at the
window of the cashier's desk and smiled.
"I'd like to cash this cheque, please," she said, handing it
over. The clerk examined the cheque, then said : "Could you
identify yourself, Miss?"
For a moment the lovely girl's brow creased over, then with a
bright look she fumbled in her handbag and producing a mirror,
glanced in it and with relief said, "Yes - it's me, all right!"
