Banta Singh, wanting to rob State Bank 
of Patiala, walked into the branch  
and wrote "this iz a stikkup. 
Put all your  muny in this bag." on the 
back of a deposit slip.      
While standing in line, waiting to give 
his note to the teller, he began  to 
worry that some-one had seen him write  
the note and might call the police before
 he reached the teller window.      
So he left the bank and crossed the 
street 
to State Bank of India. After  waiting a 
few minutes in line, he handed  his note 
to the SBI teller. She read it and, 
surmising from his spelling  errors that
 he was not the brightest light  in 
the harbor, told him that she could 
not accept his stickup note because  
it was written on a State Bank of 
Patiala  deposit slip and that he 
would either have to fill out a State 
Bank of  India deposit slip or go back 
to State Bank of  Patiala.      
Looking somewhat defeated, Banta said "OK"
 and left. The SBI teller then  called the 
police who arrested the man a  few minutes
 later, as he was waiting in line back at 
State Bank of Patiala.
