- moofer, on 10/21/2007, -11/+722A tree walks into a bank... the tree says, give me all your money. The teller says, leaf me alone.
- inactive, on 10/21/2007, -12/+599No one wonders what a tree is doing walking into a bank? Good security...
- chris9902, on 10/11/2007, -5/+372"Police say a man used duct tape to attach tree branches on his body as a form of camouflage."
oh god that is ***** classic. - Raistlen007, on 10/11/2007, -5/+304All branches of the bank agree, this is how maddness takes root.
- patrickloggins, on 10/11/2007, -2/+275Which BRANCH did he rob?
- holzp, on 10/11/2007, -3/+209So this tree walked into a bank and...
- ImOnlySleeping, on 10/11/2007, -2/+204I believe the tree asked for all the green
- kennon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+194Did anyone notice that the bank is located on Elm Street?
- fant0m, on 10/11/2007, -1/+188how the heck did he escape?! did he run to a park and stand real still or something?!
- pbaehr, on 10/11/2007, -3/+166...apologized to the teller, "Excuse me, sir, I seem to have the wrong branch."
Oh, that was horrible. - shibbz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+157It always worked in the cartoons. So it has to work in real life.
- DruSam, on 10/11/2007, -6/+158Hold on guys we still need to find the ROOT of these crimes.
- airwalkery2k, on 10/11/2007, -5/+137The real punchline is that he got away. There wasn't a single police-man who stopped a guy with tree branches stuck to his body?
- omarciddo, on 10/11/2007, -8/+119He stashed all the loot in his TRUNK and went off.
- IQis87, on 10/11/2007, -0/+99he got arrested
http://www.wmur.com/news/13640028/detail.html - webcure, on 10/11/2007, -11/+99Just gotta digg it!
- TehSwat, on 10/11/2007, -2/+80The druids are rebelling!
- blacklilyninja, on 10/11/2007, -3/+80the other trees are just going to make fun of him for being a people-hugger
- ImYourRealDad, on 10/11/2007, -0/+74Tolkien tried to warn all of you..
- yizuman, on 10/11/2007, -6/+69The bank that was robbed was on Elm Street, was he wearing Elm branches?
I guess you CAN make money grow on trees... if ya rob a bank first...
Was he in a hurry to leaf I wonder...
The cops did catch a guy, but they were barking up the wrong tree.
Hmm... and I wonder if they;ll tighten up security at all the "branches" of this particular bank.
Oh, and with the robber that was on the loose, no-one can sleep like a log until he's got caught.
Gives a "stick up" a whole new meaning!
Ok I'm dun. :p - dippyskoodlez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+61I'd be suspicious, but I would never expect the dumbass to try to rob the place DRESSED as a tree.
- theholycow, on 10/11/2007, -1/+60Or to be given money without having a weapon. What did he do, threaten to pollenate on them?
- NuclearBlast, on 10/11/2007, -2/+60They should have just told the man to leaf.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+51It says the robbery occured on ELM street.
- rowlodge, on 10/11/2007, -1/+47you see?,..duct tape has many uses you never thought of.
- tize, on 10/11/2007, -2/+48He wood have gotten away with it if the clerk didn't bark
- hotsoda, on 10/11/2007, -1/+39This is why I love digg. At least give the guy points for originality.
- Fracture98, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36Actually, the concept is sound. There were a gang of French robbers whose only disguises where huge colorful wigs. That's all the witnesses could remember; "He was wearing a huge purple and red wig". When the caught them eventually, one was a woman. Nobody even remembered that little tidbit.
- omnirusa, on 10/11/2007, -8/+42Well... He got away... With money, so it worked dident it?
- samsam123, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35this is a STICK up!
- HyperJack, on 10/11/2007, -3/+37Hey. Security guards are trained to recognise balaclava masks and guns. Not trees. Give them a break !
[/Sarcasm]
Seriously, if the bank staff didn't get even the _slightest_ bit suspicious when a tree walked into the bank, they don't deseve to even have a job!Its not as if he was even expertly camouflaged. - philz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+30I must have missed that episode of 'How Not To Be Seen'
- lavoie0ca, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29The amazing thing is the line at the end of the article.... "The tree robber was able to escape with an undisclosed amount of cash. "
- bluebirdgm, on 10/11/2007, -2/+31What we need to keep in mind is the type of self-esteem issues that would make someone turn to a life of crime. Obviously, he didn't feel like he was poplar enough.
- bIuebonics, on 10/11/2007, -0/+28no, the real punchline is there was no weapons involved. "give me the money or i'll poke you with my pointy appendages!" ... "i'm tree man... from mega man2, give me your money or i'll throw leaves at you in easily discernible patterns..." o_O
- PatrickFisher, on 10/11/2007, -0/+28I think they just figured that money DOES grow on trees.
- AugustZephyr, on 10/11/2007, -1/+29Too bad he wasn't wearing military camouflage. He would have blended in with the fake tree a little better. No one would have seen him then.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+29This is a stick up! Yield now and gimme a root! Can't you see I have wood!
- graemee, on 10/11/2007, -2/+28Global warming = felonious trees
- drakethegreat, on 10/11/2007, -3/+29Ya and its even more classic because he actually got away with it too! He didn't have a gun or anything and they still gave him the money LOL
- uwjames, on 10/11/2007, -3/+28Shame on him, stealing the FRUITS of our labor.
- HunterTV, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26To be fair, he thought the bank was being run by the White Wizard, so it was fair game.
/Tolkien - pmagayon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+25He got away, and police are stumped. Brilliant!!
- dlsspy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+25That's a shame. I was rooting for him.
- Fracture98, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26Can you identify him?
Number 1. The Larch. The: *Larch* - Shadow503, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21If a tree robs a bank and nobody is there to see it, does it make a sound?
- moofer, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22not as horrible as you beating me to the same bad joke one minute prior ;-)
- fxspec06, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20Trees apparently have many uses I have never thought of as well ...
- holzp, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21The police called for the nearest Arborist but he was too late.
- Jugalator, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Why, is there a law against wearing branches? Huh?! Meh, damn witch hunt for us dendrophiles!
