Body-Paint Enthusiasts And Bank Robbery Link?

When parents send their Johnny Go Lightlys off to school, they don't expect their featherbrained young to rob banks. They hope their young will become class presidents not class presidents/bank robbers on the side. Well, most don't.

As Lehigh University students are preparing for final exams this week, they find themselves consumed by the news that the sophomore class president was arrested for allegedly robbing a nearby bank.

Greg Hogan, a 19-year-old student from northeast Ohio, handed a note to a teller at a Wachovia Bank branch around 3 p.m. Friday, saying he had a gun and wanted money, authorities said.

Hogan, the son of a Baptist minister, was picked up at his fraternity house around 8:30 p.m. the same day and charged with robbery, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property. Police said he got away with $2,871.

One of his fraternity brothers, Patrick Thornton, of Cleveland, described Hogan as "very energetic," the sort of student who would cheer on the college football team wearing body paint.

Haven't you ever wondered who these people are, and where they come from? What sorts of DNA strands are wound around like the noodle tossing scene in Lady And The Tramp, to cause people to cheer their teams on by wearing body-paint?

As tragic as this bit of news is to both the Baptist parents and the Sophmore student body who had hoped to at the very least elect a student President who didn't rob banks after student president meetings, this casts a vital light on the psychological make-up of body-painters world-wide. Finally, parents and peers will be able to say, "Frederico is body-painting and I think it bears an intervention now before it becomes something we all have to deal with later, with phone and thick bullet-proof glass type visits..." finally they'll be able to nip the problem in the bud.

And you said God didn't exist.
