Safe Banking

"Safe Banking"*

*A young college co-ed came running in tears to
her father. "Dad, you gave me some terrible financial advice!"

"I did? What did I tell you?" said the dad.

"You told me to put my money in that big bank,
and now that big bank is in trouble."

"What are you talking about? That's one of the
largest banks in the state," he said. "there must be some mistake."

"I don't think so," she sniffed. "They just returned
one of my checks with a note saying, 'Insufficient Funds'."

"Safe Storage"*

*In Corvallis, Oregon, the two men entering the
large, two-story brick building from the roof one
night were prepared. While in prison, one of the
men became friends with an inmate who used to
work in this particular building.

Both now knew the floor plan, when security made
its rounds, and, most importantly, that there was
a large safe inside. A payroll safe -- and tomorrow was payday!

After climbing down a rope ladder to the second floor,
they proceeded to the first floor and found the safe.
It was huge. Break-in proof. But they had an equalizer.
Why spend four hours hammering and drilling trying to
knock off the tumbler when a few sticks of dynamite
would do the job in seconds? Why, indeed.

Thirty seconds after lighting the fuses, they had their
answer. In a tremendous explosion that practically
leveled the building, the two were buried in a salvo
of brick, wood, dirt and debris. And that's where the
police found them.

After a stint in the hospital, both men were tried,
convicted and sentenced to prison. What our two
"dumbolition" experts didn't know was that the
company that used to occupy the building had
relocated. The old safe was too costly to move, so
they sold it to the incoming construction company,
which found it perfect for storage of their dynamite!
