a regular customer came in and I asked him about the armed robbery he was hit by at the business he managed. It was in the paper and said he was stuck up by 2 Hispanic men with guns. I asked him if had taken the lie detector test yet. He gave me a strange look. Later he was arrested for being part of an inside job.
