I was sitting on the porch swing with my wife tonight, and we were talking about everything under the sun, moon and stars.
The subject came up about the bank robbery in Macon Wednesday afternoon, when a guy held up the SunTrust Bank on Riverside Drive, which is only 2.7 miles from my porch swing.
That’s a little too close for comfort, but these things happen. Still the guy escaped on foot, and if he made it as far as Forest Hill and tried to cross the road, I feel quite certain he probably fell into one of the1,274 pot holes.
I pointed out to my wife that the guy is going to get caught, if he hasn’t been caught already. Bank robbers ALWAYS get nabbed. I would venture to guess at least 97.43 percent of them do.
You can get away with a lot of crimes, but I’m not so sure bank robbery is one of them. They’ve got all those cameras and exploding money bags. Chances are, somebody is going to see your face or recognize your cap of get the license number of your getaway car.
Your odds are small, like your brain was in the first place.
So don’t try it, unless you think you look good in stripes.
