Ten Things You Might Not Know About Bonnie and Clyde-- Part 1

From the History Channel by Christopher Klein.

There were pictures and more information in the article.  I'm just listing them.

1.  Bonnie died wearing a wedding ring, but it wasn't Clyde's.

2.  Bonnie wrote poetry.

3.  The Navy rejected Clyde when he tried to enlist.

4.  Clyde's first arrest came from failing to return a rental car.

5.  Bank robberies were not the pair's specialty.  Even though they often been depicted as stealing from the rich and powerful financial institutions, but they had many more robberies of mom-and-pop gas stations and grocery stores.  Sometimes their take was only $5 to $10.
