Really Really Dumb Criminals 11 is this week’s Mystery Question. Sorry I didn’t have a Reader Friday blog, but the conference kind of snuck up on me…don’t ask how something you’ve known for a year can sneak up on a person…We had a great conference. DiAnn Mills was our keynote, and she is fabulous. So inspiring.
The MidSouth Christian Writers Conference is small, but I think that’s what makes it so unique. We always have really good classes with top-notch workshop leaders. There were attendees from as far away as Arizona, South Carolina, and South Florida! And a twelve-year-old who has a great future in writing. Such talent. I can’t wait to see how far she goes.
Now for the photo and verse. The photo is a sunset taken in early December when I just caught the sun peeking out from the clouds. And I love that verse.
Now for last week’s Mystery Question, Really Really Dumb Criminals 10. As usual, four choices, three of which are true. I made up one–can you guess which one?
- Sometimes it doesn’t pay to try to get a discount. Especially when you have to give your ID, and you plan to use a stolen check for payment. That’s what a woman did and ended up in jail.
- If you decide to stiff your cabbie for half the fare, don’t disrespect him like one drunk did, and then tell him to “Toddle off.” Especially if he’s holding your phone for collateral.
- A thief quickly gathered jewelry, a laptop, a TV, and a camera. His problem? His getaway vehicle was a bicycle. Police arrived as he was still trying to figure out how to secure the stolen goods to the bike.
- When the owner of a car discovered a sleeping man wearing only a shirt in his car one morning, he called the police. The sleeping man told police that he’d done drugs and was pretty sure a leprechaun had opened the car door and let him in. Yeah, right…
And the answer is…#3. Congrats to all who guessed correctly!
Now for this week’s Mystery Question, Really Really Dumb Criminals 11. As usual, four choices, three of which are true. I made up one–can you guess which one?
- Officers clocked a man doing 103 in a 60 mph zone. When he was pulled over, he explained he had dyslexia and didn’t know how fast he was driving. That might have worked if his speedometer had been digital.
- A man claimed he didn’t really remember what he was thinking when he robbed a store of bras, underwear, and stockings, etc, but that Beho, his female elf character, might have had something to do with it.
- If you’re going to steal a car from a dealership, don’t tattoo your name and DOB on the back of your neck for cameras to record. That’s what happened to one car thief.
- When you steal someone’s phone, it’s not a good idea to respond to a text on said phone offering to sell you drugs. That’s what happened to one thief. When he showed up, police were waiting to take him into custody.
Okay Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answer in the comments, and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a book from my library!
Now for Tuesday’s song. Hank Williams wrote this and it’s a favorite of mine–seems appropriate as we approach Easter!

Crazy criminals:
#1. This one is so funny. Hmm.
#2. The old elf made me do it defense.
#3. Well, duh.
#4. Dumb-da-dumb-dumb.
It’s a good thing the bad guys are often so dumb. I will say you made up #3 this time.

Hi Tim! I love that Hank Williams song, too! We’ll see if it’s #3 next week–loved your comments for each question. 😉
Hm, I went with number 4 last time, and I was wrong. (A leprechaun, seriously?!) I’m going to stick with number 4 this week!

The video/song brought back some happy memories. Thank you for sharing it!
Author
I love that song and that era, Carolyn. We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
Beautiful picture and verse.
My girlfriend (who is now my wife) went to the drive-in movies many years ago to see a movie about Hank Williams. In that movie starring George Hamilton as Hank Williams, it seems it depicted him as being killed when he tried to cross the train tracks in front of a train.
I’m choosing #1. I can’t quite figure out what role aixelsyd would have had on the guy speeding. Last week, I started to pick three but chose one instead. Maybe this week, it really will be one. LOL!
Author
Edward, I never saw that movie, but I do know Hank Williams Sr didn’t die in a car wreck, although he did die in the back seat of his Cadillac from heart failure. He was on his way to a concert.
As for choosing #1…we’ll see next week. 🙂
#3 is my guess and love the song!
Author
Me, too, Shelia…about the song. 🙂 We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
I’m going with #4.

Hi Diana! We’ll see…
#1?
Author
We’ll see Barbie, D. They are kind of hard, aren’t they. 🙂
#1.
I’m torn between #2 and 3 this week. Leaning toward #2 though, a female Elf is a new one and a site to behold!!
Author
That’s funny, Dottie! I’m sure you’ve seen it’s #4.
I did, and I can actually see #4 being real. That would be one way to catch ‘em! lol!
