AIKEN, South Carolina (AP) -- A robber who used a rusty pitchfork to stick up a bank got away -- and so far, finding him has been like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The man, wearing sunglasses and a mask, entered Security Federal Bank Tuesday morning and threatened employees with the 4-foot-long pitchfork. The man took an undisclosed amount of money.

You know...I thought living in Mississippi was great but living in South Carolina just gets better every day! Where else in the world (ok, maybe other then MS) would you have a guy with enough dumba$$ to rob a bank with a pitch fork!!

Yeah, but this was the original AP article:

AIKEN, Republican South Carolina (AP) -- A Republican robber who used a rusty republican pitchfork to stick up a Democratic bank got away -- and so far, finding him has been like looking for an AWOL needle in an Iraqi haystack. The man, wearing Federal sunglasses and a Republican mask, entered Security Federal Bank of the Blind and Poor Tuesday morning and threatened 1000-plus laborers with the 4-foot-long weapon of grass destruction. The man took an undisclosed amount of 527 money.

Heh. ;)

Makes you wonder, wasn't there an armed ( as in armed with a gun) guard in the bank?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Yes, but everyone knows that you don't bring a gun to a pitchfork fight... I mean, duh! ;0)
