STOPPED COLD
Lenny and Squiggy weren’t their real names, but everyone called them that. Something about a 1970s TV program.
After their respective parents had finally booted them out, they couch-surfed together for a while. Someone suggested that they get a job…. Job??! Yeah, we could pull a job.
Lenny knew where the local gang had a betting parlor. It was simple. Wear ski-masks. Run in the front. Wave some toy guns. Grab all the cash they could carry, and run out the back. Everything went flawlessly – but why won’t the back door open?

Not the smartest tools in the box! I like their small misunderstanding of “get a job”…

Nothin’ to it. Just take some ‘Winter in Canada,’ import a couple of ‘Vote for Trump’s.’ (Nobody in Canada could be that dumb) Mix well. 😉

I once owned a Crossman CO2, Beretta 92 reproduction that fooled a police officer who carried one, until he picked it up.
Still…. a couple of extra IQ points wouldn’t have gone astray with these two.
Thanx for stopping by again. 🙂
