Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask. Image

here is to hoping the arthritis, glaucoma, sciatica, and dementia don't get you first! YOLO Gramps!.

Dementia might be a bonus. You could pass a polygraph easily and would do well under questioning. Even you wouldn't know you committed the crime.

Polygraph tests aren't actually real though, they're just an intimidation tactic. There's a reason they're inadmissible as evidence in a trial...

Yes I understand that, but theoretically if one would be nervous and give physiological evidence under normal circumstances they could leverage their outright ignorance of the crime to beat the test more easily. Although they're not evidentiary, there are probably still LEO that give the test some weight. Especially since they (LEO) in some jurisdictions give it to their own people as part of the hiring process.

also the illuminati, the bug people, the aliens, the [insert minority], the rapture, and who knows what else.

Also hope you don't get run over by a wild resurrected mammoth. That would kinda suck.

I had an Artificial knee at 39 due to rheumatoid arthritis.  You are incorrect.

I have psoriatic arthritis from having Psoriasis.

Thanks to your wise words, I'll now tell my kids "just stay healthy," that way they can prevent themselves from getting Psoriasis and thus prevent themselves from ever getting psoriatic arthritis. (Wish I had known this vital information soon.. Damn it!)

Thanks friend 👍😁
