Criminals and Other Stupid People

Cute Really, really scary. The old Babster has nothing to do with this post. I just like the picture. I am in the process of trying to make Sadie the Wonder Beagle into a pet a guy would want to own. It is slow going. She is about 10 months old and is a terror. Her idea of quality time is to run around like a maniac and play, by biting at any exposed foot that she can find. My strategy is to spend more time with her, a lot more, to see if that calms her down. We will see how this works out. At the moment she is laying on the floor ripping a toy I got her to shreds. For your entertainment, I present another Merlism. Crime doesn't pay mostly because criminals are so stupid. For instance, take the guy in Reno who killed his, oh, excuse me, is alleged to have killed his wife, the former Nevada state controller. This bozo told his coworkers that he had a foolproof method to commit murder and the next day his wife winds up mysteriouly dead. He couldn't keep his trap shut. Now he is in the slammer and questions have cropped up about the dead wife's dead ex-husband. Then we have the Congressman who decided that it was a good idea to send lurid emails to an underaged page. Let's see, he works with 534 other egomaniacs and their ruthlessly ambitious staff members, half of whom would love to bring him down and he figures this will end happily. What a dope. In our fair city we have a case where one doctor hired a hitman to kill his ex-partner in their medical practice. The dead man, by all accounts a first-rate human being, had the nerve to bail out of the partnership with the murderer, when said murderer was arrested on drug charges and prety much lost his ability to doctor. Funny how that works. The murderer-doctor evidently solicitated a bunch of people to kill the guy, based on the number who came forward at trial, before finally hiring someone. He went around for several years talking up his hatred for the dead guy and vowing revenge. It took the cops one day to name him as the chief suspect. He is now serving his time. So even though I have never successfully pulled off a real crime, here's a tip. If you intend to kill someone, keep your yap shut. If you are the last person anyone would suspect, you will be the last person the coppers will suspect. Merle. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong and sometimes just full of it. Tag:
