Prepare yourself for what must be the best news story of the week…<\/p>\n

An Army Sergeant<\/a> based in Tuscon, Arizona<\/a> attempted to rob a bank by duct-taping<\/a> his own mouth shut and passing a note to the cashier that said there was a bomb in there. What a damn fine plan.<\/p>\n

Police officers saw something was amiss, and rushed the guy. Obviously a bomb didn’t go off (because there wasn’t one in his mouth to begin with). They dragged him out of there, “risking their own lives,” and called in the bomb squad<\/a> just to be safe.<\/p>\n

Of course, the bomb squad used the giant robot<\/a> to remove the tape and search the guy’s mouth. The picture below is evidence that this is not a joke at all.<\/p>\n

Just the greatest news story of the week.<\/p>\n
