A Robbery Thwarted

A small Hispanic man was walking home from work. He noticed two young black males (hereafter referred to as Shit-stick #1 and Shit-stick #2) following close behind him on the sidewalk... a little too close. Sensing something was about to happen, he called his wife and told her where he was. It was at this time Shit-stick #1 asked him, "You got any money?" The Hispanic male said, "No," and tried to walk away. At this time Shit-stick #2 began cursing the man and posturing himself in an aggressive
manner. Shit-stick #1 pulled up the corner of his shirt and displayed a hammer, as if to threaten the man with violence. The Hispanic man was terrified and didn't know what Shit-stick #1 had under his shirt. He suspected it might be a gun as it was dark at their location. At this very moment a police officer rolled by and the Hispanic man ran into the street waiving his arms.

Both Shit-sticks were taken into custody at the scene. But that isn't my point here. The best part of this story was the reasoning for possessing the hammer. These two clowns had at least fifteen minutes to figure out a plausible excuse for having a hammer. Shit-stick #2, who didn't even have the hammer, provided their air-tight alibi. They had the hammer to fix his VCR. That's right, his VCR. The best he could come up with was they were going to work on small electronic circuitry with a HAMMER.
