(WBZ) MANCHESTER, NH Police are looking for a man who attempted to disguise himself as a tree and rob a bank in Manchester, New Hampshire Saturday morning.
Police say the suspect used duct tape to attach tree branches onto his body as a form of camouflage. He then walked into the Citizens Bank on Elm Street and demanded money.

I'm not sure I have words for this. Infidels do the strangest things.
The man actually managed to escape, so says the article. Aspiring criminals, take note.

Even having Citizen's Bank Park here in Philly can't cover how Communist that sounds. :p Not to mention the parent bank is Royal Bank of Scotland, IIRC.

Yew'd oak that they'd have someone capable at the elm of this case, pine-ing for it to be over soon. Or maybe I'm ash-king too much of this particular police branch.

Yes! Whenever bicycles are broken, or menaced by International Communism, Bicycle Repair Man is ready! Ready to smash the communists, wipe them up, and shove them off the face of the earth...(his voice rises hysterically) Mash that dirty red scum, kick 'em in the teeth where it hurts. (commentator rises from his canvas chair, and flails about wildly, waving script, kicking over table, knocking down sunshade) Kill! Kill! Kill! The filthy bastard commies, I hate 'em! I hate 'em! Aaargh! Aaargh!

I was wondering how long someone'd twig to the possibilities here.
I do certainly hope this affair's nipped in the bud, as it'd hardly do for such perfidious activities to take root.

80ish% of the US population is Christian, and the other 20% are mostly either pretentious teenagers or intellectuals, as well as Muslims / Buddhists etc., none of whom are much interested in the army.

72% consider themselves of some Christian denomination, 2% 'other', 26% unspecified.
This is from the official demographics of 2005.

The refereence is to how English longbowmen, whose longbows were made of yew, used their middle finger to draw back the bow. Any captured longbowmen had their middle fingers cut off. Thus, to taunt the French before or during battles, the English longbowmen would flip them the middle finger.

Neither of you have fired a bow and arrow then, nor are you English.
You use 2 fingers to draw back the bow, and you use 2 fingers to say '**** you' in English.
The middle finger means 'up yours' in English.
