A Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Willie story<\/em><\/p>\n

“Stick ’em up!” said Clyde. I swear that’s what he said.<\/p>\n

My first bank robbery. I was right behind Clyde in line, so I saw it all. It wasn’t what I expected…<\/p>\n

Behind the teller’s cage was Hello-my-name-is-Annabelle, the world’s most unflappable teller. She said: “Do you have an account with this bank?”<\/p>\n

“Huh?! Lady, this is a stick up!” Clyde had one of those cheap little .25 caliber pistols, the kind that are guaranteed for three armed robberies or one family brawl. He was wearing nylon hose over his head so it was very difficult to tell that he had brown hair, brown eyes and a pitiful little attempted moustache. I don’t think his nose is really that flat.<\/p>\n

“I understand that,” said Annabelle. “I asked you if you have an account with this bank.” The prim people worship Annabelle as a goddess: she is primness personified, right down to the last tittle and jot. Her mousy-brown hair was wound up in a tight little bun and her little half glasses rode half-way down her nose. She wore a forest green dress with the tiniest white polka dots. I couldn’t see her shoes, but I’d bet they have buckles.<\/p>\n

“Oh, just put the money in the bag!” commanded Bonnie, Clyde’s moll. She’s an unbearably thin woman with bleached blonde hair and greasy jeans. She didn’t bother with a disguise, since the downtown of every city that has<\/i> a downtown is crawling with unbearably thin women with bleached blonde hair and greasy jeans.<\/p>\n

“I would like to do that,” said Annabelle. “But first I’ll need your account number.”<\/p>\n

“I don’t have a damn account!” said Clyde. “Okay?! If I had money, why would I be robbing the damn bank?!”<\/p>\n

“Well, if you don’t have an account, I’ll need eight dollars.”<\/p>\n

“Eight dollars! What the hell for? If I had eight dollars, I could wait until tomorrow to rob the damn bank!”<\/p>\n

“Non-depositor’s transaction fee,” said Annabelle. She tapped her pen on a little sign mounted on the counter: “If you don’t have an account with First American Interstate National Trust, we will be happy to process your Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
