Feel this bag!
This recent story over at KSL cracked me up (hat tip to Eric Snider and sorry if you saw this already):
A frustrating night for some would-be robbers in Salt Lake City, especially for one whose demand for cash went way wrong.
In Utah it may be a difficult deal to tell the difference between the words “fill” and “feel.” Last night when a robber presented a bag at the Cafe Treo, he told the server to “fill” it.
“The employee thought the suspect said ‘feel’ the bag, so the employee reached over and felt the bag,” said Detective Jeff Bedard, spokesman for the Salt Lake City Police Department.
Bedard says the suspect replied, “You’ve gotta be kidding” and fled the store empty-handed. “Maybe he had a chance rethink his life of crime,” Bedard said.
Yea, that is pretty unbelievable. The “you’ve gotta be kidding” response is classic.

Hehe. Of course the quote from the detective would have been funnier if it said “that’ll teach him not to still in Utah”.
