"This is a stick-up! I'll take 25 copies on Canary Yellow cardstock!" -- This is the most Coen Brothers-esque crime tidbit I've ever seen...a very confused bank robber (photo) went into a copy shop near B.U., thinking it was the Fleet Bank next door, and had a comical conversation with the copy dudes inside, then left to follow their fake directions! Later in the day, he managed to rob a few actual banks in the area, including one that slipped an exploding dye pack in with the money. After that went off, his pickup got a flat tire! The police nabbed him at the gas station where he pulled over. Unreal! The best part is, this guy was just released from a jail sentence...for bank robbery. {Insert your own withering Lenny Briscoe one-liner here.}
