Police say a man tried to rob a pharmacy in
Neillsville, Wisc., using the time-honored ruse of pretending his
finger was a gun. Except the man, wearing a mask, didn't feel the need
to hide the fake gun in his pocket -- he held his finger up to
pharmacist Bill Weiler. "I kind of chuckled," Weiler said, asking "This
is a robbery?" The man then "pushed me and said, 'Yeah, this is a
robbery'." He wrestled with the man and, in the scuffle, pulled off his
mask. He recognized the robber as Joel D. Peterson, 30, who had earlier
allegedly tried to fill forged prescriptions. (Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel) ...Which Weiler knew were forged because there's no such
thing as "Smart Pills".
