Old School Chum
The president of the bank was returning from lunch. As he walked across the branch lobby towards his office, a man stopped him by saying, "Bill! I haven't seen you since we graduated from high school!"
The president, who said later he would not have recognized the man had he not told him his name, did indeed remember him, and they stood for several minutes reminiscing about the "good old days" when they were in school together.
They parted company, and the president was on his phone shortly after that when the head teller flung open his door and announced, "We've been robbed - the guy just ran out!"
Doors were locked, procedures followed, and when it came to descriptions, the tellers told the president, "You should know him - he was the fellow you were talking to after lunch!"
