LOS ANGELES, CA—Robber Rob N. Steele was doing some honest robbing in East LA this morning when he broke into the home of Raymond Garfunkel. Steele made Garfunkel sit on a chair while he tied up the victim's hands, brandishing his firearm threateningly.
But things changed when Garfunkel told Steele that he was waiting for his 10-day waiting period on the purchase of a firearm to expire and couldn't defend himself. Garfunkel had heard about a recent string of break-ins and decided to buy the gun, but he had to take a safety test, competency test, pass a background check, and wait nearly two weeks for his gun and ammo to come in.
"Hey, man, if you can just come back in, like, 9 or 10 days, the waiting period will be over and it'll be an even match," Garfunkel pleaded. "It's only fair!"
Steele had never heard of the waiting period since he buys his guns from a guy named Cueball on the street corner. "Oh, wow. You have to wait ten whole days? That's terrible!"
"You know what? You're right -- it's not fair for me to do this when you have to wait 10 days to protect yourself. How about this -- I'll go rob some other peeps and hit you up later once your gun is in?"
The robber also agreed that when he comes back, he will wait for the man to go get his gun, unlock it, get the separately stored ammo, and load the firearm, "just so that it's a fair fight."
Writing! Man if you can’t trust a thieve then who can you trust.
My son’s friend, who is 6’4” and played football, was in Chicago, and was told by a mugger that he had a gun, so he’d better hand over all his money.
My son’s friend replied: show me the gun, and I’ll give you the money. You’ve got to hold up your side of this deal.
After some discussion, it was determined the mugger did not have a gun, so the mugger had to leave empty-handed.
Very well done!
Robber Rob N. Steele
Robby Steele...lol
Hahaha!
I think it was Jack Benny who was told by a mugger who placed a gun at the back of his head that if he didn’t hand over his money he’d blow his brains out.
Jack turned around, looked him in the eye and said, “Fire away, in New York you can live without your brains, but you can’t live without money!”
Babylon Bee...better than anything else in News...
Yep, that is pretty much life in California. I can’t get out of this madhouse soon enough.
My favorite: The robber says, "Your money or your life!"
A ten-second silence then ensues.
The robber continues, "Well, what'll it be?!"
As the laughter of the audience reaches a maximum, Jack then quips, "I'm thinking! I'm thinking!"
Regards,
Cueball the gun dealer, LOL !
