Cops: One-armed woman fails in Pennsylvania bank robbery try

EAST MCKEESPORT, Pa. – Police say a one-armed woman tried to rob a Pennsylvania bank.

East McKeesport police say 51-year-old Wanda Irvin entered the Key Bank branch about 4 p.m. Tuesday armed with a knife and demanded money. When the teller refused, police say Irvin ran out of the bank and drove away.

Police say a witness got Irvin's license plate, which they tracked to her home where they found a knife in her purse.

Police say Irvin acknowledged the robbery attempt and repeatedly told them, "I don't know why I did it" — a remark she repeated to WPXI-TV outside the police station.

Online court records showed she is in custody at the Allegheny County jail on charges of robbery, possessing an instrument of crime and simple assault.

“I know a woman with one arm named Wanda.”

“What’s the name of her other arm?”

The slighty NSFW version of that one has it as waitress with a name tag on her chest. I’ll let you assemble the joke.

>>"A one armed woman???"

In today's "culture" the script would call for "A one armed...uhhhhhh...

Maybe we should just look for a squirrel?

Now she’s sharing a cell with a legless murderess who is serving 2 years - but what with the killer having received such a light sentence, she can’t kick.

Believe it or not, I know that joke from Mary Poppins.

Was it a right handed or left handed knife? Success or failure depends on it.

Okay... I know some of you are old enough to remember this. What was the name of that girl who used to appear on Johnny Carson back in the 60s who always talked about being from “East McKeesport?”

Depends on if the person is sinister or not. (Latin in-joke for y’all)
Dad ever send you to the hardware store for a left-handed monkey wrench? It’s a Dad classic, like “pull this finger”.

One armed woman with a knife named Wanda Irvin tries to rob a bank, that tells you all you need to know about how bad inner city schools are.
