Crooks Say the Darndest is my Mystery Question for the week. My daughter came up with the made-up one last week and this week…
I thought I’d finish the thought in Isaiah 43:1-3 with the part about walking through the fire. I’ve leaned on these scriptures so many times in my life. I think my favorite part is where God says He’s called us by name–we are His!
Now for last week’s More Criminal Dumb Sayings–Mystery Question. As usual, three are words actually and one is false. Can you guess which is made up?
- “Here. Hold my beer while I get my driver’s license.”
- “Officer, you should just pretend you didn’t see me. Call out a UTL (Unable to locate)”
- “You need to find some real criminals.”
- A couple busted for a kilo of weed: Woman–“Oh, we weren’t going to smoke it. We were going to sell it.”
And the answer is…#1. Congrats to all who guessed correctly!
Now for this week’s Crooks Say the Darndest Mystery Question. As usual, three stories are true and one is false. Can you guess which one my daughter made up?
- A police officer arrested and cuffed a man, then searched him and pulled out a clear plastic baggie with powder from his pants pocket. As soon as the guy saw the bag in my hand, he blurted out, “These ain’t my pants”–they belong to my brother. The 5’7″ felon’s brother was 6’3″.
- An officer pulled over a man who was weaving over the road and shined a light in the car. “Your eyes are glazed,” the office said. “Have you been drinking?” To which the driver replied, “Your eyes are glazed–you been eatin’ donuts?”
- Gang members made a rap album where they described, in detail, the shootings, drug robberies, and murders they’d pulled off. Then they put it up for sale. Guess who their first customer was? The DA had a ball with this case.
- Suspect testifying at his trial after his passenger had already pled guilty to possessing a joint: “That was my passenger’s joint. They didn’t find my joint. My joint was in a different part of the car and they didn’t find it.”
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did my daughter make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in an April drawing for a book from my library!

I think your daughter made up number 4 because surely the defendant wouldn’t be THAT stupid . . . would he?
Author
You never know, Priscilla! lol. Thanks for always stopping by!!
Isn’t interesting the different roles fire plays in the Bible? When I saw your photo and Scripture, I was reminded of these words from the song: “Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire”.
Pat, your daughter is very clever. Hard to believe three of those were actually said by someone. These are tough, but I think she made up #2.
Author
I love that song, Tim! I’ll pass that along to my daughter. lol She can use a few words of encouragement right now. 🙂 We’ll see if you guess correctly next week! Thanks for always stopping by!
# 2, I say is made up. I’m not good at these so this is really a guess!
Author
It’s good to ‘see’ you here, Beverly! And we’ll see next week if it’s #2. 🙂
I love #4 – if they guy really is that stupid…..then I should have guessed something else…lol.

I’ve got to go with number 2. I can’t believe a dumb criminal would come up with that response so quickly. However, it is a hilarious response.
You selected a good picture for those verses. It makes them come alive.
Author

I think it is #2 , I had to chuckle when I read it, if somebody really said that , well, I think they would be in extra trouble, I loved it though. 🙂
