I guess some people even fail at being a failure.
Alright, some seventeen-year old in North Carolina decides that he needs a bit of money, so what easier way for a delinquent to get fast cash? By robbing an internet cafe.
He walks into the store with something under his shirt and demands money from the owner, claiming that he had a gun. He ends up getting tackled to the floor by the owner and another customer, and then he is found to have been holding a banana instead of a gun.
Does it not amaze you how some people don't think their plans the whole way through? Especially dumb robbers? What was he supposed to do with a banana anyway? Threaten to let their blood potassium levels drop?
Actually, I think the peel would have been more of a threat than the whole banana anyway.In old cartoons and such, banana peels are often much more dangerous than ACME missiles or machine guns. What could possibly be more dangerous (and humiliating) than stepping onto a slippery banana peel and falling on your buttocks?
And here's the good part: While they were waiting for the authorities to arrive, the 'robber' ate the banana.
There you go. Threat neutralised.
The better part is that now he is being charged for attempted armed robbery. But in my opinion, they should charge him for being such a platitudinous moron before he dumb-asses himself to death one day.
