Opportunist

A man charges into a bank wearing a balaclava and wielding a
handgun.

He shouts 'this is a raid - everyone get on the floor!!', and
proceeds
to empty the cash drawers.

As he runs towards the door with the loot, a brave customer
yanks off
his balaclava. The robber immediately shoots the customer in
the head
and shouts.. 'Did anybody else here see my face?'

The robber notices another customer peering from behind a
counter and
goes over and shoots him in the head also.

'Did anybody else see my face?' he shouts again, waving his gun
around.
There is silence for a few seconds before a male voice is heard
from a distant corner..

'I think my missus caught a glimpse....'

Would you believe in a joint the first night?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh I get by with a little hemp from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little hemp from my friends,
