Robber holds up bank with bunch of flowers
The thief approached the cashier's window in the United States with a large bouquet of flowers and handing over a hold-up note.
Police told The New York Post they were examining a large bunch of blooms - yellow chrysanthemums, orange and red daisies, and gladiola buds, among others flowers - used by the man in the robbery last week.
Here's the oddest part: This wasn't his first holdup using foliage:
The New York Post reported that it was the second known bank heist by the suspect, who last week robbed a different New York bank armed with a potted houseplant.99% of my readers are coming up with some variation of "Assault with a deadly shrubbery" right now, I can feel it...
That is all.
UPDATE: I cannot believe I missed this pun. I'll bet the first thing the robber said was:
"Nobody move! I have a pistil!"

Nobody moves or the plant gets it...
Quite a few years ago someone tried to rob a bank across the street from my job with a bow and arrow. What was amusing was that he went up to the drive-through window and threatened to shoot them through the plate glass window with a target arrow and what was about a thirty pound bow. Once the tellers stopped laughing and realized he was serious, they merely locked the doors and called the police. They came and grabbed the idiot, who didn't even have a getaway vehicle, but was on foot.
Oh man, how on EARTH did I miss this pun:
"Nobody move! I have a pistil!"
Did he use plants to compensate for his inadequate 'stamen" ?
We want... a shrubbery!
The teller was obviously afraid he was going to put someone's eye out with that Daisy.
I bet the teller was even named Susan, and didn't want a black eye.
I'll stop with the bad flower jokes now.
Sorry, just thought of one more:
Was the plant named Audrey II? I bet he was just trying to feed it, the poor guy.
That's AWFUL!
A loaded pistil.
Sigh.
Can it get worse.
Knowing this gang, probably...
I am the robber who says, "Ni!"
