An Offensive Offender

A robber who hit two Miami banks might have gotten away with his crimes if his feet hadn't gotten sore. After wandering out of his second bank robbery in 20 minutes, police said Daniel Gallagher stopped to rest his tired feet. He plopped down on a patch of grass to relax, unfortunately, his lounging spot was within sight of a police officer questioning a witness. "His feet were tired," said Detective Delrish Moss. "He's a bank robber. I didn't say he was brilliant."
Police say that during his hold-ups, Gallagher threatened to detonate a bomb unless the teller handed over $100. It was later discovered his "explosive" was a cold can of Miller beer in a bag. When he was taken to police headquarters, he revealed his motive, saying, "I'm ugly and I smell bad, so I can't get a job. I gotta get money somehow."
