Really Really Dumb Criminals 3 is this week’s Mystery Question. I am totally amazed at these new dumb criminals, although I’m not certain I can outdo the ones last week…
But first the photo and verse. The verse first–I thought it was a natural for the photo. Then the Bible talks about three heavens (Exodus 20:11; Genesis 1:8, 22:17; 2 Corinthians 12:2). I took this photo of the first heaven while taking the Border Collies for a run. It was cloudy when suddenly the clouds parted, and the sun shone through. The second heaven is the stars and galaxies, and the unimaginable infinity of space. One day, I will see you in the third heaven where our Heavenly Father resides.
Now for last week’s Mystery Question, Really Really Dumb Criminals 2. As usual, four choices, three of which are true. I made up one–can you guess which one?
- It’s great to pay your court fines, but not when you use a stolen credit card to do so. That’s what happened with this criminal.
- This guy planned the heist job down to the smallest detail, even to where he would hide while waiting to break into the jewelry store. Unfortunately for him, he failed to notice the signs warning of camera surveillance…that caught his image quite plainly.
- What happens when you live-stream climbing a cell tower? Why, the police come and arrest you, that’s what.
- If you’re driving under the influence, never, ever stick your finger in your White Claw can when the police pull you over. It’ll get you in jail every time.
And the answer is…#2. Congrats to all who guessed correctly. Oh, and White Claw is a popular brand of hard seltzer, an alcoholic beverage made from a blend of sparkling water with an alcoholic content of 5%
Now for this week’s Mystery Question, Really Really Dumb Criminals 3. As usual, four choices, three of which are true. I made up one–can you guess which one?
- Is it possible to be too stupid to do drugs? That’s what police wondered after a drug user deposited his baggie of meth along with his check at a bank. Didn’t take long to track him down.
- If you’ve been arrested for stalking your ex, don’t congratulate him with fentanyl-laced chocolates when he gets engaged. That’s what a bitter ex did. No wonder the police knew where to look.
- When you steal an 800-pound cannon to sell and pay your drug dealer, don’t confess your deed to your mother. She might turn you into the police…which is what happened to one druggie.
- A pair of robbers high on cocaine entered a convenience store, nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, “Nobody move!” When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
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.
The song for this week is I’ll Fly Away by Randy Travis. He’s always been a favorite of mine. You can read about his stroke and comeback–here.

#3 is my guess
Author
Good morning, Crystal! We’ll see next week if it’s #3…
#2
Author
We’ll see, Linda!
Thanks for the explanation on the three heavens.
#4 is too good to be true. I hope it happened, but I’m guessing you made it up.
Author
We’ll see, Delores. Bud suggested I do that and put the Scripture references in. 🙂 We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
I am going with #3
Author
Hi Sharon! We’ll see next week if it’s #3…
I love Randy Travis. He’s so easy to sing to, like the male version of Patsy Cline. “I’ll Fly Away” is my favorite hymn. I like the Johnny Cash version, too, where he combines it with “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”
Anyway, I pick #4 because I laughed … and then I felt bad about laughing!
Author
I almost used the Johnny Cash version until I listened to Randy Travis and then thought about linking the story of his recovery. I’m so glad I brought laughter to your life today…didn’t mean to make you feel bad though. LOL
Beautiful photo to compliment the creation narrative. One thing that caught my attention a few months ago was the way the days were delimited. “There was evening and morning; day…” From my brief research it appears this is why Jews start their day after sunset. Also, I love the Randy Travis rendition of that song.
Now to the crazies.
#1. Oops. Meant that meth to go in my safe-deposit box instead.
#2. That’s one mean ex.
#3. Should have gotten an 800 pound gorilla instead.
#4. When he said “Nobody”, he meant “NOBODY”.
I think #4 is the one you made up. What a couple of bunglers.
Author
I’m pretty sure you’re right about why the Jews start there day after sunset, Tim. As always, I love your analysis of the answers…we’ll see next week if it’s #4…
#3 (How do you steal an 800# cannon!?)
Author
Love your logic, Barbie D! We’ll see…
I’m guessing #4, although I agree with Barbie about how do you steal an 800lb cannon?
Author
Good question, Gail. lol We’ll see next week…
Oh my those were really great dumb crimes. Is that a strange reply? Like Priscilla, I laughed out loud and kind of felt bad, too. But not too bad, only a little bad. I’m still laughing.
Going with #4
Author
I’m so glad I was able to make you laugh today, Barbara! We’ll see…
I’m going with #4. Randy Travis and his band have done several free concerts at a church that we went to for quite a while. We have since moved, but will always remember those concerts. Our pastor was a friend of his.
Author
Randy Travis is one of my favorites, Mary. How blessed you were to have him at your church!! We’ll see if it’s the popular #4 next week…

Like several others #4 made me laugh, but I’m sorry, I didn’t feel bad for laughing. Lol #4

I don’t think anyone so far has felt bad for laughing, Mary G! We’ll see…
#4
Author
Another one for #4, Mary. We’ll see…
I’m guessing #4 is the made up one.
I love listening to Randy Travis sing hymns.
Author
Carolyn, Randy Travis could really sing those hymns! We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
I’ll go with #3 this time 🙂
Author
Hi Natalya! We’ll see next week if it’s #3.
Once again, the picture and verse go together perfectly! I probably shouldn’t laugh at these, but they are so ridiculous! I’m going to guess #1.
Author
Thank you, Erika! And I laugh every week as I post them. 🙂 We’ll see next week if it’s #1…
Oh. My.Goodness! This is a batch of really dumb criminals! I wasn’t sure whether to groan and roll my eyes or fall in the floor laughing! I’m going to guess #4 this time.
Love Randy Travis!
Author
I know, L. It’s crazy how dumb these criminals are. We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
#2 is my guess
I’m going with #3.
Author
Hi, Diana! We’ll see next week if it’s #3…
#4 is my guess
Author
Hi, Deborah! Number 4 is popular…we’ll see…
The only thing I like better than your pictures of the clouds is when I can see similar scenes with my own eyes. Please keep sharing your pics and Bible verses. Wonderful choice.
I’m choosing #4 because it’s just too sad and ridiculous to be true. It has to be made up.
Author
I’m glad you enjoy the photos and Scripture, Edward. I love taking the photos and then finding a verse I feel goes with it. We’ll see if it’s #4 next week…
These are all insane. It’s probably the drugs. But I’ll go with #4.
Author
You’re probably right, Kelly! We’ll see Tuesday…if I have power…it looks like it’ll take a miracle on the magnitude of Parting the Red Sea for us to keep power…
