I've Got a Gub!

That's a classic line from Woody Allen's Take the Money and Run when he botches a bank robbery because the teller can't read his note demanding cash and threatening that he has a "gub." What's a gub? It happened for real the other day in Antioch, California. 

The would-be robber hit a Wells Fargo branch and handed a note to the teller that they couldn't read. She called her manager over to help her make sense of it and in the meantime the frustrated criminal left the bank. He was collared by the cops a little while later at a nearby shopping center. 

What is our educational system coming to? Pass state standards for bank robbery notes? We need higher standards!
