This One Just Made Me Laugh

Hey folks,

Don’t worry, the regular Sunday stuff is coming up. This just made me laugh. Since it’s the lighter side of the OPN, I had to share.

According to WBZTV-Man Robs NH Bank Disguised As Tree

WBZ) MANCHESTER, NH Police are looking for a man who attempted to disguise himself as a tree and rob a bank in Manchester, New Hampshire Saturday morning.

Police say the suspect used duct tape to attach tree branches onto his body as a form of camouflage. He then walked into the Citizens Bank on Elm Street and demanded money.

No one was hurt in the robbery and no weapons were used, according to police. The bank was closed and police cruisers blocked off the entrances to the bank as officials investigated the incident.

Aside from sporting tree branches, the suspect was also wearing a bluish-colored T-shirt, blue jeans and had thick glasses. He was about 5' 8" tall with a thin build and dark hair.

The tree robber was able to escape with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Hey, he got away with it. I wonder if being suspicion of trees walking through banks would fall under the auspice of the evils of profiling. Remember folks, this was just one bad tree. You cannot judge all trees based on the action of one. Do not discriminate. That would be bad. Besides, it’s not the trees fault. Maybe he saw his whole family killed to make way for Al Gore’s mansion. Just a thought.
