Dumb And Dumber Robbers

This is an edited extract from the book by “Dumb and Dumber” bank robber Anthony Prince: Bank Robbery for Beginners – a story of criminal stupidity and its very serious consequences.

Anthony Prince: I was a crook, a bad dude. I was going down.

I entered the bank first. The two tellers were behind the counter chatting. The anticipated fear and adrenaline was vague – all I recall is wanting to get it over with as quickly as possible. I opened my mouth and out fell the words, ‘This is a robbery!’

I held up my pistol. I remember the two girls turning and looking at me, like they knew me. The older girl, Kim, stared at me with a peculiar smile on her face, like she understood this was a joke and she wanted me to stop mucking around.

Suddenly, Luke came storming in from behind me, doing the whole madman-robbing-a-bank thing – ‘Shut the fuck up and give us all the money!’ – and then the girls’ faces changed.

    Why would anyone want to buy a book written by a guy that is a Junkie? His writing style, even describing the teller as “f…d up” when she was upset. Absolutely shiiiiiiiiite! Spend your money on something else. Read more »

"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays. She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise. My scholastic mentors conveyed to me a causal relationship… [read more]
