Really Really Dumb Criminals 15 is this week’s Mystery Question. I am posting this via a hotspot from my phone, so my options are limited this week…Also, there won’t be a Reader Friday…see you next Tuesday!
But first the photo and verse. I took this from my front yard, and I like to think that hole in the clouds is the entrance to heaven! And the verse is my verse for this week as I prepare to have the Watchman implanted so that I won’t have to take blood thinners any longer. You can learn more about the procedure here.
Now for last week’s Mystery Question, Really Really Dumb Criminals 14. As usual, four choices, three of which are true. I made up one–can you guess which one?
- If you’re drinking and involved in a hit-and-run, like this dude, don’t go home, park your motorcycle in your garage, and then set fire to said garage to burn the cycle up in a fire. All because he thought that if there was no cycle, the police couldn’t charge him with DUI. They charged him with a lot more.
- It’s never a good idea to rob the house where you’re house sitting. That’s what this one chick did. Then she pawned the goods at the shop closest to the house, and the police quickly caught her. But the charges went from petty theft to criminal mischief when she poured bleach all over the house to “get rid of her fingerprints.”
- Don’t be like this guy who smashed up his car and claimed he hit a deer. He even went so far as to shave his dog and shove hair in the cracks.
- This is what happens when you embezzle from your employer and don’t listen to your lawyer. The client could have easily returned the money and been sentenced to time served. Instead, he fled the country with classified military technology and, of course, was caught. Time served turned into twenty years.
And the answer is…#1. Congrats to all who guessed correctly!
Now for this week’s Mystery Question, Really Really Dumb Criminals 15. This one is a little different. Because I don’t have internet access, I “borrowed” one from years back. See if you remember it or can guess which one I made up.
A man was arrested for possession of cocaine. Was it because:
- He offered a bag to an undercover officer.
- He took it to the police station and demanded that the person who sold it to him be arrested for selling him substandard cocaine.
- He put it up for sale on Craig’s List, thinking no one would report him. His first buyer was an undercover DEA officer.
- He got caught speeding and tried to bribe the highway patrolman with it.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which is the correct answer? Leave me a comment below with your guess. And if you have time and tweet, I’d greatly appreciate your help in promoting the blog

Love your scripture
#3 is my guess
Author
Thanks, Crystal! We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
I will guess #2.
Praying your procedure goes without a hitch!
Author
Thanks, Paula! I’ve had 2 heart caths and this is similar so I pretty well know what to expect. We’ll see if it’s #2 next week…
I’ve heard of people using Craigslist in ridiculously inappropriate ways, so THAT’s not it. Hm, I’m going with number 4 because that is really, really dumb.
Author
Love your reasoning, Priscilla! We’ll see how it works out next week…
I think #3. Praying your surgery goes well and you recover quickly.
Author
Thanks, Jane! We’ll see if it’s #3 next week…and yours makes a vote for each of the 4. 🙂
#2
Author
We’ll see, Linda…
I am going with #2. Praying that all goes well on Friday.
Author
Number 2 is getting a lot of play, Sharon…we’ll see and thanks!
Beautiful scripture and photo!
#4
Author
Thanks, Caryl! We’ll see…
Beautiful photo, Pat. Do you see the big, white heart above and to the left of your hole with the entrance to heaven? 🙂 kind of a bonus, you know?
Great scripture as you prepare for your procedure. I’ll continue praying.
Going with #3 because I don’t remember you mentioning Craig’s list before. Lol But you might have! Lol
Author
Thanks for your prayers, Barbara! I hadn’t noticed the heart! We’ll see if it’s #3 next week…
I am guessing #4 this week. I am praying for all to go well with your procedure.
Author
Thanks, Gloria! We’ll see if it’s #4 next week…
Beautiful photo and great scripture!
#2
Praying Pat that all goes well on Friday!
Author
Thanks, Mary G! We’ll see if it’s #2 next week…
I am picking two. Good luck with your procedure!
Author
Hmmm #2 is getting a lot of votes, Judy. And thanks!
The “hole in the clouds” picture is really cool. It always fascinates me when I see one. I think #3.
Author
I love it when I see unusual things in the clouds, Becky! We’ll see if it’s #3 next week…
A hole in the sky reaching to heaven. I love that picture and the hole only comes through faith in Jesus.
Thanks for the information about the procedure you’re getting. My late wife had AFib, but as I recall, hers was caused by electrical impulses not firing at the right times. She had a procedure called cardioversion which is a shock treatment to get the “firing” sequence back to normal. It took two tries before it worked for her.
Ah, those nutty criminals.
#1. A bribe. Yeah, that’s a good idea. NOT!
#2. Thought that bag had a warranty, huh?
#3. Like the police wouldn’t be monitoring Craig’s List and similar services.
#4. Another bribery attempt.
1 and 4 are too similar. I can see some dope thinking cops won’t monitor services like Craig’s List.
That leaves #2, which I think is the one you made up. Even the dumbest criminal mind wouldn’t do that, would they?
Continued prayers for your successful procedure, Pat.

Thanks, Tim. I haven’t had to have a cardioversion yet. I slip in and out of A-fib all the time very briefly, but that’s enough to qualify me for blood thinners that I no longer want to take. 🙂 I’m glad it took the second time! We’ll see next week if it’s #2…

We’ll see, BN100!
I’m thinking it is #1…
Author
Hi Connie! We’ll see…
I’m going with #4.
Author
Hi, Diana! We’ll see…
I’m guessing #2.
Praying for you in your procedure!!
Author
Thanks, Carolyn! We’ll see if it’s the popular #2…
Pretty picture and great verse. May God be with you as you undergo the procedure, Pat. Praying for you!
I’m choosing 2. They are all dumb, but strolling into the police station with cocaine takes the cake.
Author
Great logic, Edward…we’ll see…Thanks for the prayers!
I think #2 sounds familiar so I’m guessing #2 this week.
Praying your procedure goes smoothly with no hiccups.
Author
Thanks, Gail! We’ll see if you remembered this one. 😉

Hi Shelia! We’ll see…
#3? (all of them leave me shaking my head!)

Me, too, Barbie D! We’ll see…
I’m joining the popular #2, but they’re all on the dumb side!
Author
Aren’t they, Dottie! We’ll see…
I’ll try #2.

Hi Kelly! We’ll see…
