DUMB CRIMINAL QUIZ NO. 367

How well do you know the dumb criminal mind?

While robbing a gas station, the attendant asked the robber for a favor, and the robber complied. Did the attendant ask him . . .

(a) to hem his pants?

(b) to let him make one phone call?

(c) to play the guitar accompaniment for “Dueling Banjos”?

(d) not to rob the store?

If you answered (b), then you know the criminal mind. The attendant at the Reno, Nevada, gas station was nothing if not bold. “Remember,” he told the man who was holding him up, “every victim is allowed one phone call.” The robber agreed, and the attendant called the police. Before you could say “reach out and touch someone,” the Reno police were asking that dimwitted robber to do them a favor: “Would you put your hands in these cuffs, please?”
