A 43-year-old Florida man has been charged with attempting to rob a bank -- wearing shorts on his head.

Eli Escalera walked into the Key West bank Friday afternoon with the shorts on his noggin -- though not covering his face -- and handed a teller a note that said: "Give me what are 20s and 50s," according to the Miami Herald.

Confused, the teller asked "What do you want?"and Escalera replied "never mind" and walked out, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Escalera was spotted by sheriff's deputies on a nearby street, and arrested after attempting to flee on a bicycle, sheriff's officials said.

It wasn't clear whether police recovered the shorts, and why exactly Escalera had them on his head.
