It’s hard to believe, but this is a really, really bad economy these days no matter what the press says. This story is proof of just how bad it is:

>>WOODBURY, N.J. (AP) – Two southern New Jersey residents who robbed a bank last year to pay for their wedding trip to Las Vegas are now headed to state prison.

Twenty-eight-year old Charles B. Koch of Stratford and 27-year-old Cheri Harper of Malaga both received seven-year terms on Friday. They must serve 85 percent of their sentences before becoming eligible for parole.

They also were ordered to pay $7,600 in overall restitution to the bank in Franklin Township (Gloucester County), which they admitted robbing on January 8, 2010.

Harper told authorities she entered the bank with a concealed knife, while Koch claimed to have a bomb. They soon fled with an undisclosed amount of cash and began driving to Las Vegas, but were captured in Oklahoma five days later.<<

A certain number of people can be excused for being desperate, but this was some way to start a married experience!

There’s no better way to end this post than an interesting video on the “Dumb & Dumber” bank robbers from Down Under:
