Morons

My favorite moron story comes from a student I used to teach. There was a Burger King down the road from the high school, and two or three of my students worked there in the afternoons and on weekends. One afternoon, not long after school got out, a man entered Burger King wearing a black ski mask. He had a gun and was demanding the money from the register. From what a student told me, it went something like this:

Thief: "Open the registers and give me your money!"

Brittney (girl working, PHS student): "Chris is that you?!"

Thief: "No, my name ain't Chris! Give me your money!"

Brittney: "Chris that is you! You wore that to school today, and you know I know your voice! Boy, get that gun outta my face! You better leave before I call your gran'ma!"

So Chris, apparently more scared of Grandma than the police, fled the scene. And Brittney, furious that Chris would even consider robbing her Burger King on her shift gives the police his address and telephone numbers. Then she calls his grandma.
