A Michigan bank teller shut the window on this robbery attempt.

An unarmed man handed the teller at a PNC Bank in Pontiac a note demanding money. But the teller just stepped away from the window, and the would-be robber panicked and took off.

It was vows and meows for a veterinari­an couple that sheltered two rescue kittens — at their wedding.

Drs. Michele and Nicholas Anderson — who volunteer at cat-welfare clinic Devine Feline in Denver — had kittens Jeeves and Houdini attend their big day.

A Pennsylvan­ia couple went to a great length to play an April Fools Day prank on their mailman.

Bill and Jackie Kelly folded an extra-long strip of paper to look like an envelope and left the tip of it sticking out of the mail slot in the door of their Lewisburg home.

They then watched as the carrier tried to collect it, pulling — and pulling and pulling — out the envelope addressed to “A.P. Rilfools.”

An unidentifi­ed man has admitted to surreptiti­ously correcting bad punctuatio­n on street and storefront signs around the city for more than 13 years.

There were 1,131 UFO reports in Canada in 2016, and Winnipeg-based Ufology Research documented some of the crazy close encounters.

One man said a thin, 6foot-tall white alien spoke to him in his bedroom before leaving through a wall.

Another said he was in a bathtub in a field “surrounded by three green, big-eyed humanoid creatures who communicat­ed with him telepathic­ally.”
