By Lamaur Stancil





OKEECHOBEE COUNTY (Fla.) — A man was foiled in his attempt to rob a bank because he did not bring a bag with him, according to the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office.

Joseph Alan Price, 61, of the 3700 block of Southeast Highway 441, Okeechobee, walked into the PNC Bank in the 2800 block of South Highway 441 about 2:42 p.m. Friday, deputies said. He had written a note demanding cash and handed it to a teller, the Sheriff's Office said. The note instructed the teller to put the cash in a bag, but she told Price she didn't have a bag. Price, who did not show a weapon, pointed to the note, but the teller again told him she had no bag. Empty-handed, Price left the bank and hopped on a bicycle he had left in a wooded area near the building.

A bank alarm was activated and a sheriff's lieutenant had Price in custody within seven minutes, Sheriff Paul May said. ......(more)

3. You can thank the liberal media for that ...

everybody knows that banks keep all the money in bags with a big dollar sign on them ...

4. Does this look like "gub"or "gun"

Even Virgil carried his own bag


Teller: What does this say?
Virgil: Uh, can’t you read that?
Teller: I can’t read this. What is this? "Abt natural"?
Virgil: No it just reads, “Please put $50 thousand into this bag. Act natural."
Virgil: (pointing to the note) "I, uh, am pointing a gun at you."
Teller: That looks like "gub", it doesn’t look like "gun". No, it’s "gub". That’s a B.
Virgil: No you see, it’s an N … G-U-N.
Teller: George, would you step over here a moment please.
Teller: What does this say?
George: "Please put $50 thousand into this bag and … abt" — What’s "abt"?
Teller: "Act". Does this look like "gub" or "gun"?
George: "Gun". But what’s "abt" mean?
Teller: It’s "act" … A- C-T, act. Please put $50 thousand into this bag. Act natural.
George: Oh, I see, this is a hold up.
Virgil: Yes.

5. I love that movie...

one of the best scenes in Take the Money and Run. Also the scene with the gun made out of soap that melts in the rain. Those early movies were some of his best works.

6. I enjoyed the scene of Virgil playing cello in the marching band

I'm biased because it was my high school band.

My driver training teacher was one of the 'chain gang' in the movie, our summer driving schedule had to be modified to fit around his filming.
