Remember that old Far Side comic about the kid pushing the door marked "pull" for a school for the gifted? Well, a real life version of that comic landed a burglar in jail when his robbery was thwarted after he tried to pull a door instead of push it to make his escape.

According to DNAInfo.com, a burglar attempted to rob a Chicago bar and had managed to remove the lock from the bar's front door. However, our dimwitted thug was pulling on the door, but couldn't figure out how to get inside. All of this, despite the fact that there was a sticker on the door that said "push".

For your amusement, the entire thing was caught on video and you can see if below.
