MASKS

In this "new normal" of mandatory masks and convicts being released from prisons, there has been an uptick in bank robberies,
Surprise!
A bank robber, wearing his mask is robbing a bank.
During the robbery, his mask slips down. He pulls it back up fast.
The robber asks the bank teller if he saw his face.
The teller says yes, so the robber shoots him.
The robber asks another bank teller if she saw his face.
This teller says yes also, so the robber shoots her.
The robber asks the last bank teller if he saw his face.
The last teller says no, but my wife did.
