carwash robber

Your Daily Loser
The would-be robber got away, but there's good video on this one. He confronted a carwash employee, pulled out a gun, dropped it on the floor, picked it up (or, rather, picked up what were then both pieces of the gun), still insisted he wanted money, and made a move for a cash drawer. That's when the employee grabbed a 2000 psi pressure hose and blasted away. KGW-TV (Portland, Ore.)

Wearing a Santa hat does NOT constitute dressing up as Santa.

The best thing about it was the description in the article. I quote, "The employee described the man as having 'unusually long arms' and dark eyes. Police said the man should be considered armed and dangerous."

So THAT'S what "armed" means 😊
