Brinks Security


Sitting at a red light this morning, I noticed something shiny glaring in my eyes. On closer inspection, I come to find out that it is a GUN! I freak out, but then realize it is a Brinks Security Officer holding the weapon, as I now see him back his partner holding the bag of money, following him into the bank.

I get the green light and haul tail out of there, but it got me thinking, is this what the world has come to? Is it now a vital componet to have a lookout man holding a loaded gun so that the transaction of money is safe?

Please let me know your opinion because I was freaked out this morning.

thanks,
SlaveLabor

SlaveLabor you are really quite inept. The only reason you were scared was because you were planning on robbing the armored truck!

Plus, you need to learn to dance.

They've always done that. When you have that much money of course you're going to guard it with weapons. It's been done that way for years. Society deemed it neccessary when money became the root of all evil thousands of years ago.

Yeah that's been standard practice for quite some time. Back in the day it was just a hand on the piece but now they pull it out. Nothing new and the only thing you really need to be concerned about is that you hope today isn't the day they told that guy to f'ck off when he asked for a raise.
