Cheap Flamethrowers / Sidewinder

Robbing banks. That’s a popular crime. Everybody’s thought about robbing a bank. Robbing a bank the craziest and sanest idea all wrapped into one.
Joking around with friends about robbing a bank is never a good idea because there’s always the one guy that starts taking it seriously.

“Ha Ha – know what would be great?"
"What’s that? "
"Robbing a bank!"
"Shyaaa!"
"Hey, maybe we should rob a bank?"
"Ha Ha."
"Yeah, that would solve all out troubles, right?"
"Tell me about it brother."
"Yeah, a good old fashioned “Stick ‘em up!”
"Ha Ha."
“Reach for the Sky! Right?"
“Check it out. This guy I know is a teller, and they’re trained to just hand over the money at the mere mention of a hold up.”
“Ha Ha yeah. Imagine that.”
“Yeah and get this. My cousin installs security cameras all over the city. He’s doing the Chase on 19th street next week. He could totally disarm it for us. He’s a good guy.”
“He he. . . . yeah?”
“Sure, think about it. You got one guy on the teller. One guy on lookout. Christ, John’s got a kick-ass getaway car and he’s up for anything.”
“I could fake a seizure!”

Before you know it’s six beers later and someone’s got out the pencil and paper, mapping out escape routes.
You think it’s still a joke so you chime in and offer a completely outrageous suggestion – just to see if they buy into it.

“Yeah, and if that doesn’t work we could always use a flamethrower.”

And your friends look at you with a straight face, “That’s not a bad idea.”

It’s not until then you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into. You can’t rob a bank. You can’t even get out of jury duty. But you can’t back out of it now cuz you’re no pussy.

Next day at work you're googling “cheap flamethrowers”.
