Nov 7, 8:00 am ET

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian police are looking for a phony sorcerer who conned a man into believing he was invisible and could rob banks, the Jam-e Jam newspaper said Thursday.

Customers at a Tehran bank quickly overpowered the deluded robber after he started snatching banknotes from their hands.

Appearing in court, the repentant thief said he paid five million rials ($625) to a man who gave him some spells and told him to tie them to his arm to become invisible.

"I made a mistake. I understand now what a big trick was played on me," the would-be bank robber was reported as telling the judge. His name was not given.

That's pathetic... I mean, you'd think he'd at least have the smarts to look in a mirror. Let him fry.

Oh man, isn't it amazing how stupid some people can be. Ahahahahaha! Why the first thing you would do is see if you can see yourself. The lie would be completely transparent. Ahahahaha.

Speaking of which:


Superman is bored fighting crime everyday. So one Friday night he decides to go out in the town to have some fun. He drops by Batman's house.

'Hey Batman', he says 'Wanna' go out tonight?'

No I can't', replies Batman. 'The Batmobile is broken and I gotta' stay home and fix it, or else I won't be able to fight crime'.

'You loser,' says Superman and flies away. He decides to stop by Spiderman's house. 'Hey, Spidy, how about hitting the town tonight, you and me,' he says.

'I'd love to, but I can't', replies Spiderman. 'My web is broken and I gotta' fix it to fight crime'.

Superman, all disgusted says 'You loser. Stay home on a Friday night and fix your damn web'.

So he flies away. While flying from up above he spots Wonder Woman stark naked and lying down on her back spread-eagle. Superman thinks, 'Hey, I am Superman, I can fly down there at the speed of light, have a quickie and fly back out and she won't even feel it.'

Superman flies down, does a quick in-out-in-out and flies back out at the speed of light.

Wonder Woman says, 'What the hell was that?' The Invisible man says, 'I don't know but my ass is killing me!'

Sorry, Scarpozzi, My post was made without knowledge of yours. While the irony is enormous, my sarcasm, if you happened to notice it, was not directed at you personally. It was, as it were, designed to reflect on people more generally. For me the robber is the mirror, but of a self I do not see. Ahahahahaha!

I think they let him off with a warning, considering chopping off his arm would be in public but them not giving out the name.

So very true and funny at same time.

Luckily, he did not attempt rape. Lot more could go invisible.
