I picked a bad day to be sick.
August 22nd, 2007 by Jim Clark
Monday I was out sick with a horrible stomach flu. While I was busy hurling my guts out with demonic force, some guy robbed the Sizzler right next to my office.
I guess this dumbass with a ski mask and a gun broke into the restaurant and waited by the office for the first employee of the day to arrive, then jacked them for cash. Within minutes there were Sheriffs and hostage negotiators and SWAT guys outside our door, crawling all over the place and aiming their guns everywhere. They surrounded the whole area.
Pretty soon they got a report that there was a suspicious looking dumbass in the Toyota dealership parking lot across the street. It turns out that the robber went into the bathroom at the dealership to change his clothes instead of getting the hell out of the area. So the cops rushed in there and arrested the guy while my co-workers took pictures and video.
Apparently it was pretty cool to watch the whole scene unfold. I wouldn’t know because I was too busy hugging the toilet bowl at home.
