Stick 'em Up, Carol Channing
On Friday, Carol Channing was in a Palm Desert bank when it was robbed. Channing said, “I was in the bank, you know, handling my finances. Actually, it was just my cash winnings from the slots in Tahoe. You can ski there without a jacket on. It’s that warm, it's extraordinary. So at the bank, some guys in president-masks ran in and shouted, ‘This is a stick up! Hit the floor!’ I'm making that up. I don’t know what happened. I didn’t even know the bank was robbed until I walked outside and reporters asked me what it was like to be in the bank while it was being robbed. So naturally, I turned it on and made something up. It helped that I was out of breath. You know, from lugging seventy-two dollars in quarters to the bank. Not to mention my purse, which is already packed to the brim with Sweet-n-Low, Velamints and my Colt 45. Incidentally, have you seen the new Rambo? Wowzers. He is quite the hunky psychopath.”
