"A WIFE Sends a Message to Her HUSBAND

WIFE: “Honey, please don't forget to buy bread when you're coming home from work, and lest I forget... Your girlfriend Elizabeth is also here and says hello to you.”

HUSBAND: Who is Elizabeth?

WIFE: Nobody, I just wanted you to respond, so I can have confirmation that you saw my message.

HUSBAND: But I’m with Elizabeth right now, I thought you saw us!

WIFE: What! Where are you?

HUSBAND: Near the bakery.

WIFE: Wait, I’m coming right now!

After 5 minutes, his wife sends a message:

WIFE: I’m at the bakery, where are you?

HUSBAND: I’m at work. Now that you’re at the bakery, please buy the bread and go home!"

 
James Verone left his home in Gastonia, North Carolina (USA) and did something that was brilliant.

He went to a nearby bank, waiting for his turn, and handed the bank employee a note that read:
"This is a robbery - give me a dollar."

After James handed over this note he sat down to waited for the police.

A few days earlier, he had sent a letter to a local newspaper announcing that he would soon commit a theft.
When the local newspaper discovered that a man had tried to steal a dollar, they decided to question him.

It turns out that James was a delivery driver for Coca Cola, and when he lost his job, he also lost his health insurance.
James had to pay for treatment to treat a chest and spine condition that he could not afford.

So he chose to try to rob a bank so he could be put in prison and get government health insurance.

It was an act of desperation, but also a stroke of genius.
