A drunken man in Mainz, Germany, was arrested after he attempted to hold up a bank there armed with — get this — a water pistol and a potato peeler."Hmm… I know what I'll do tonight! I know! I'll soak a bank!"
Police say that the man, identified as 52-year-old Walter Schoegl, had a stocking over his head and was waving said potato peeler when he demanded cash.
"This is a stickup! Gimme all the money or I douse the lot of you!"
But he left with nothing after the bank teller told him that they had run out of money.
"Nope, we don't have a pfennig. Really." "Oh well. I'll just leave, then."
He was still wearing the stocking on his head when he was arrested a mere five minutes later.
