WELCOME to TUESDAY JUNE 9th, 2026

Here’s The Story….  
A supposedly true story out of San Francisco (but who knows):
A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch & wrote “this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this bag.” While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller’s window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo.

After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn’t the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.

Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, “OK” and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America. 😮

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT TUESDAY ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Tuesday’s Quizzler is….😎😎
The ABC Express pulled out of the station late one night and began its winding journey up the coast to its destination under heavy darkness. Owing to the late hour, there were only a handful of passengers aboard the small train. At the stroke of midnight, the lights illuminating the interior of the two cars were suddenly extinguished. When they flicked back to life a few moments later, the passengers were alarmed to see one of their number lying on the ground motionless.

The conductor phoned the local police department, and though it was very late, the dispatcher assured the worried conductor that they were sending their very best detective. A bit of an eccentric, Detective Y had an usual methodology when it came to solving crimes. Knowing witnesses to be often be mistaken and contradictory, Y made a habit of asking his witnesses to state to him only one fact they remembered clearly and with absolute certainty from the moment the crime took place.

Y wasted no time upon arriving and, after taking a quick overview of the scene, asked each of the ten remaining passengers in turn to state one absolute fact from the moment right before lights went out in the two train cars. His interview notes are as follows:

Ms. S: I was dining with Mr. J.
Mr. G: There were the same number of men and women in my car.
Mr. J: Mr. K was not in the dining car.
Ms. L: Mr. Q had just entered my car.
Mr. F: Ms. W and Ms. P were talking to one another in hushed tones.
Mr. R: Mr. G was not in the passenger car.
Mr. Q: There were fewer women in my car than the other.
Ms. P: Ms. L was not in the same car as me.
Mr. K: Ms. P was in the passenger car.
Ms. W: Mr. F was avoiding Mr. R and hiding behind a newspaper in the opposite car.

The bewildered conductor watched as Detective Y completed his interviews, scribbled a few more lines in his notes, and turned to announce he had solved the case.

“But surely you can’t have figured out the identity of a murderer simply from a list of seating arrangements?” the conductor protested. “You haven’t even been told in which car the victim was seated!”

“To the contrary, my good man,” the detective answered placidly. “It is the curse of a criminal that he must answer any question regarding the crime he has committed with a lie. The innocent tell only truths, but the lone murderer has been betrayed by his testimony.”

Who did Detective Y arrest?
