The robber's ultimatum is actually a logical OR gate in disguise. In the first panel, he shows the AND gate symbol (⊕) which means both conditions must be true - give money AND get shot. But in the second panel, he shows the OR gate symbol (∨) which means either condition can be true - give money OR get shot. SpongeBob correctly panics at the AND gate (certain doom) but relaxes at the OR gate because logically he could just give the money and avoid getting shot. The robber clearly took Boolean algebra instead of Criminal Psychology 101.
