Befuddling bungling bandits

The following story was reported on WNEP-16 by anchor Marisa Burke tonight...
A would-be robbery attempt was apparently foiled in Monroe County today. Seems as though a man drove up to the drive-through at the McDonald's in Stroud Township (Stroudsburg) and placed an order. Then when he drove up to the window, the man showed a rolled-up newspaper and demanded cash. The attendant thought it was a joke and responded, "Maybe later." He closed the window, and the car drove off.

Too funny! Since when is a rolled-up paper a viable weapon, unless you're a bad puppy?
Maybe more people will follow this burger-flipper's example. Here's hoping, anyway.
