Shoot to Peel
Friday, May 15th, 2009 • Filed under Robberies
It’s amazing the number of things that can be turned into weapons. Rocks, rubber bands, live animals, small children who haven’t been fed for several hours. Now, we can include our former friend, the banana.
A teenager tried to rob a store armed with nothing more than a banana, according to the AP.
The suspect held the banana under his shirt and claimed it was a gun. The clerk, however, jumped up and lucky for him, the banana was not loaded.
The store clerks held him down and waited for police to arrive. As they waited, the suspect ate the banana. Fortunately, police were able to take the peel in as evidence. Of all the blasted luck! If only he had tried to rob the store with a kiwi, nature’s least incriminating fruit.

For once it’s not an exaggeration, the suspect did eat the banana for real.

Don’t laugh about small hungry children being used as weapons! My stepsister took her two small children and a bag of chocolate candy to a church office that wouldn’t pay my mom’s company for some work they had done. They told her that it would be awhile before they could write her a check as the person who did that was in a meeting. She told them that was fine and she would wait for it. She sat down, gave the kids the bag of candy, and had a check in fifteen minutes! Very savvy lady!
