Woman Robs Bank Using … Spaghetti Sauce:

Prego and Rago better start putting on a 2nd and 3rd shift because some ingenious crooks have developed a new use for the Italian delicacies and the bottles are flying off the shelves.

Bank tellers at a Michigan Fifth Third Bank, thought a female robber was armed with a bomb Saturday when she entered their bank, put a paper bag on the counter and demanded the cash.

How was the teller to know it was only spaghetti sauce. The woman, about 60, put a bag on the counter at a said it contained a bomb, and demanded money.

“It did look like there was a hard object in there,” a Clinton Township police officer says. “But it was folded over so you couldn’t see what was inside.” Only after the bomb squad scanned the bag, which the woman left there, were the true contents revealed.

After the ordeal the Chief of police for Clinton, Michigan suggested that he take the two tellers to lunch to calm their nerves because they were so upset.

And yes, the chief took the ladies to a local Italian Eatery. Chief Joseppi Bachagloopa who has been on a diet for the last 16 years  lost it when he saw “the stick up sauce” in the bag. “I can’t contain myself, I’ll worry about my diet next week.”

Maybe he will get lucky and someone will hold up another bank in his district with a stick of pepperoni.
