"Artistry" stops holdup

SCARED ROBBERS. One afternoon recently, two men with handguns tried to pull a holdup aboard a PUJ in the Reclamation Area. They had barely started their rob job when one male passenger suddenly dropped onto the jeep's floor and trembled, his eyes crossed, and talking queerly, as if he was in an epileptic fit. "Gikuyawan ang mga hold-aper naglumba pang-ambak sa jeep," said an Ear source.

LAUGHTER. After the frustrated robbers were gone, the man stood up, wiped off the dust from his shirt and said: "Ingon ana pag-abog og hold-aper. Mag-inartista. Nawa, na-tarantar ang mga kuwanggol. Ha! Ha!" There was laughter in the PUJ.
