One day, a bank somewhere in Gatuslao Street was robbed by some mysterious individuals. It was a holdup incident like no other.
The said robbers entered the bank as normal people. All the guards were clueless of the modus. Then suddenly, one of the robbers shouted 'Holdup!' and pandemonium followed.
The surprised guards were about to shoot the robbers but the criminals were faster. They killed all the guards in a matter of seconds. There were five of them. Two were wearing barongs, two in executive attires, then one in a cotton 'Vote *bleep* for Councilor' T-shirt.
Then, as if choreographed prior, the five felons converged in front of everyone and pulled their own faces which turned out to be masks. Beneath those masks were even weirder --- EACH ROBBER HAD A BIG COIN FOR A HEAD!
"We'll take everything in this bank!" spoke the leader, the one in barong with a five-peso coin head.
Terrorized by the death of the guards, the tellers then opened their drawers automatically to give all the money. But they soon stopped when they saw what the robbers were doing. The robbers were snatching all the people in the bank...one by one...and placed them inside their sacks! They didn't mind the cash. THEY WERE AFTER THE PEOPLE!
And as soon as the last teller was placed inside one of the sacks, the robbers all gave out some out of this world laughter and then went out to the streets...to who-knows-where-they-came-from.
