    A robber, armed with a ham sandwich molded into the shape of a pistol, held up the Humboldt Park Bar on N. Western Avenue in Chicago.

    The robber was apprehended when he fell down on his way out of the bar.

    If it was a ham sandwich it definitely wasn't a Heckler and Kosher!




    I'll see myself out.

    A bloke over here did the same thing with a stale custard tart. He was charged with carrying a congealed weapon. :D

    A robber here in the UK got off a concealed weapon charge after attempting to rob a building society with just his finger pointing at the clercks from inside his jacket pocket. He was nicked for attempted robbery but got off the firearm charge, how could he be guilty of carrying a concealed weapon if that weapon is part of his body! By the way, here you can be had on firearms charges for pretending to have one, I really must stop pointing my walking stick at passing pigeons!
