Tips For Crooks

Time for another Medical Monday. This one goes out to all you people who watch Cops to see if any of your friends are on. I have two ways to avoid leaving fingerprints behind. The first one I learned from watching Hawaii 5O. There is an acid or enzyme or whatever in pineapples that will eat away the ridges on your fingers if you expose them long enough. I don't know if you could just go to sleep with a baggie full of pineapple juice duct taped to your hands, or if you have to actually handle large amounts of fresh pineapples for an extended period of time, so don't blame me if the police still come knocking on your door.

The other way I learned when I was working at the factory. Apparently, some places are so worried about getting stuck with bad checks that they fingerprint you before they will let you write a check. One of the ladies at the factory had apparently handled so many cardboard boxes that she didn't have any fingerprints left. So if you are thinking of a life of crime, you might want to spend 5 or 6 years tossing boxes around in a factory. It would probably help if they were full of pineapples.

Now you know.
