Wednesday AKA Hump and Story Day

 

 

Wednesday is story day again. Last week we left Frank and Billy deciding to rob a bank so that Billy could get some money together since he is broke. In fact, Billy does not have a gun or a car so Frank gives him an unloaded 9MM and will do the driving.  The reason Frank unloaded the gun is he doesn’t trust Billy and thinks he could well shoot Frank by mistake. So let’s pick it up from there.

“So there is the bank Billy. This will be as easy as takin’ candy from a baby. You set?’

“What am I supposed to do Frank?”

“You and I are going to walk into the bank. We will ask loudly and with some degree of profanity to get down on the floor. We will further explain we are holding up the bank and if everyone does as they are told no one will get hurt.”

“Why are you talking funny Frank?”

“Funny?”

“Yeah, you’re acting as if I never robbed a bank before and I’m an idiot.”

“Oh, so how many bank jobs have you done?”

“One.”

“One? How did it go?”

“It was okay.”

“Just Okay? Tell me.”

“I got away with one hundred dollars.”

“A hundred dollars? You have got to be kidding me. Out of thousands you came away with one hundred dollars?”

“It was all tax-free.”

“You wonder why I talk to you as if you are an idiot?”

“Yeah why?”

“Shut up Billy.”

“That cold Frank.”

“Let’s go inside. Just do as I do and as we all know from the movies the guard will attempt to draw his gun. Just put your gun in his ribs and tell him to drop it. Got that?”

“Yeah sure. What if he doesn’t.”

“Then hit him with your gun.”

“Where?”

“On the head, arm or in the butt. I don’t care just don’t let him shoot you or me.”

“Frank?”

“What Billy?”

“I’m not comfortable hitting someone. Could I have a couple of bullets, please?”

“Shut up Billy.”

    Give him a couple of bullets so he can shoot the guard (or Frank) in the arse. Go on, John. Let him get his rocks off 🙂 Awesome piece, as usual.

        I am sure he can cause all sorts of chaos with just a couple of bullets 🙂

          Exactly. You could have so much fun with it. I know you will come up with something funny, and unexpected.

    Love the notion of tax free robbery. Wonder what expenses they could claim

      Well, there is the mask, bullets, “put all the money in the bag” note and gas for the getaway car.
