EDEN, N.Y. (AP) -- Note to would-be bank robbers: when robbing a bank, be sure to put on your mask.
Police say a robbery suspect had a dust mask around his neck but didn't pull it over his face when he walked into an HSBC branch Wednesday afternoon in the town of Eden, 15 miles south of Buffalo.

While handing the note to the teller, the man answers his cell phone, then grabs the note and runs out of the bank.
Police speculate that the call came from the suspect's get-away driver, alerting him that he forgot to put on his mask.

Woody Allen
From TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN:
Allen (a bank robber), walks up to the teller and hands her a note that reads. “I have a gun. Give me all your cash.”
The teller, however, is puzzled, because he reads “I have a gub.” “No, it’s gun”, Allen says.
“Looks like ‘gub’ to me,” the teller says, then asks another teller to help him read the note, then another, and finally everyone is arguing over what the note means.
Allen does not succeed in robbing the bank because he is the only one who defines the situation as a robbery.
