funny stuff. :)

Police arrested the man for illegal possession of a weapon.

He's already been punished: A life sentence of Stupid.

Sounds like something that should have happened in Mayberry with Barney the arresting officer.

58 years old, unemployed... stabbed himself with his own knife... not in a struggle either.

I wonder if Darwin's survival of the fittest was too late, and this guy has offspring running around.

I dunno, maybe I'm reading between the lines too much here.

This is a "58-year-old unemployed man."

Sounds like someone who just got laid off from his "guaranteed for a lifetime" job and has no idea what to do now.

A would-be Japanese bank robber asked staff how he should carry out the crime before meekly obeying a request to leave and then accidentally stabbing himself in the leg with a knife he was carrying.

Looks like Sean Penn's fallen on hard times.

Hey! Something Americans are definitely better than the Japanese at!

This sounds like something out of "Monty Python":

Learning Japanese == Lesson 14 "The Bank Robbery"


Man: I would like to rob the bank.

Teller: I'm sorry sir, but I haven't completed the bank's robbery training. I wouldn't know how to fill out the paperwork, so I'm afraid I can't help.

Man: I see. Is there someone else that can help me rob the bank?

Teller: Mr. Sato has completed the training, but he is away on a vacation to Hokkaido.

Man: Do you know when he will be back?

Teller: He should be back next week. You could leave a note and he'll call you when he returns.

Man: I guess that would be alright.

Teller: We also have this brochure you might want to read. It is produced by the ministry of fisheries, ice hockey and bank robberies.

Man: Thank you very much. Oh. Do you know if I will need a gun or a bomb for the robbery? All I have is this rusty old sushi knife.

Teller: I'm sure that will be fine as long as it can cut.

MAN WALKS IN IN A SCUBA SUIT (This is Monty Python after all)

Most criminals and would-be criminals are not masterminds; they are exceptionally stupid and lacking in common sense. Perhaps this is why they were attracted to crime in the first place. This is a prime example.
