Houston Woman Nearly Foils Bank Robbery

A Houston woman, identified only as Blanca to us, was cashing a check [cheque - UK] at the Chase bank in Uvalde, Texas.

While this is going on banker number one puts something in banker number two's hand. Without looking down, banker number two whispers, 'What is this?' to which banker number one replies, 'It's that $50 I owe you.'

Robyn leaves home for University and after several weeks she turns up at home in quite a distressed state.
'Dad, you gave me some terrible financial advice,' she splutters.
'I did?' responds her father, 'What did I tell you?'

'What are you talking about? That's one of the largest banks in the whole country,' he remarks, 'there must be some mistake.....'

'I don't think so,' Robyn interrupts, 'They just returned one of my cheques with a note saying, "Insufficient Funds".'
