DUMB CRIMINAL QUIZ NO. 007

How well do you know the dumb criminal mind?

An officer fired at a bearded burglary suspect. The fleeing felon was unhurt, but the bullet tore a hole in the man’s shirt as it flapped in the breeze. The criminal escaped. Immediately afterward, did he . . .

(a) sew his shirt while he watched television?

(b) shave his beard and go right down to the police station?

(c) use his shirt as a hand puppet to entertain children?

(d) try and take his shirt back for a refund?

If your answer was (b), you are correct. In Atlanta, a burglar was fired at by officers, escaped unhurt, and returned to his own home. When he got home, he quickly shaved his beard to fool the police and then went right to the police station to report that his car had been stolen. He was arrested on the spot.

Why? First, in his haste, he had cut himself shaving, so his face was a bloody mess. Oh, and he also forgot to change the shirt that had the bullet hole in it.
