A director wants to withdraw money, a policewoman just wants to play – and a visionary baptizes child number two
Discretion is a virtue that is often demanded – just think of bank or post office counters – but is rarely encountered. Apparently so rare that the US director Ryan Coogler was taken away in handcuffs after he tried to discreetly withdraw a five-figure sum from a bank in Atlanta. As the 35-year-old told the film magazine “Variety”, he wanted to get $ 12,000 paid out in the bank in the US state of Georgia in January. If he had whispered to the lady behind the pane what he wanted, perhaps nothing would have happened. But Coogler gave the bank clerk a note, asking if she would please count the money discreetly and hand it over to him. “The cashier,” according to the German Press Agency, “misinterpreted this as an attempted robbery when an alarm message appeared because of the amount.” The police were there in no time at all and took Coogler and his companions into custody. probably rather indiscreet. It was not clear from the statement whether Coogler received the money discreetly after showing his ID, but he and the bank management “solved the case to his satisfaction”.
The management of the police station in Roubaix, northern France, may not have been entirely satisfied when they learned that a dozen emergency services personnel had not behaved in an exemplary manner after a farewell party for a colleague. The six men and women (one of them in the trunk) were on their way home (in the patrol car) when the policewoman in the passenger seat had the idea of putting her stun gun on the driver’s arm (while driving). The man flinched so much that he rammed the patrol car into a parked car. Since probably no one in the car said, “Get out, papers!” (not even the supervisor, who was also in the car), the cheerful group drove on. And so the matter would probably have petered out discreetly if a young person hadn’t seen the crash and reported it to the police. The policewoman who caused the accident got away with it without being punished because – according to the newspaper “La Voix du Nord” – the court was of the opinion that “her enormous commitment to the police” outweighed the nonsense the stun gun.
Tech visionary Elon Musk (50) also shows enormous commitment to nonsense and heavy current, especially as the inventor of children’s names. With his partner, the singer Grimes (33), the Tesla founder already has a son named “X Æ A-Xii” , abbreviated “X”. Now the two have a girl: Exa Dark Sideræl Musk – abbreviated “Y”. As Grimes revealed to Vanity Fair, they want more children. So let’s look forward to model “Z”. boris halva
