Say What is this week’s Mystery Question. But first the scripture and photo that was taken many years ago.
I took the photo probably ten or twelve years ago. I was driving down the highway and looked to my left and there was this beautiful double rainbow. After pulling over I snapped this with my iPhone 3. And I love Psalm 46…Be still and know that I am God has long been one of my life verses.
Now onto last week’s Mystery Question. I found four more stupid criminal stories that are too stupid to be true…except three of them are. It’s up to you to figure out which one I made up.
- A man who tried to hold up a bank that was no longer in business and had no money.
- The robber ran into his mother while making his getaway. She turned him in.
- A robber had his gun pointed at the teller when he noticed a surveillance camera pointed at him. He froze then fired, destroying the camera, which was on a live feed with his image forever captured.
- A holdup man thought that if he smeared mercury ointment on his face, it would make him invisible to the cameras. Actually, it accentuated his features, giving authorities a much clearer picture.
And the answer is #3. Congrats to all who guessed correctly.
Now for this week’s Mystery Question: The following are short quotes from actual police reports; statements either taken directly off of insurance forms or things said directly to the officer taking the report. One is false the rest, unfortunately, are true.
- “When I told my girlfriend to get out of the car, I thought she’d wait until I stopped.”
- “I was taking my canary to the hospital. It got loose in the car and flew out the window. The next thing I saw was his rear end, and there was a crash.”
- And this one: “I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different direction going the opposite way.
- Or is it this one: “I told the police I was not injured, but upon removing my hair, I found that I had a fractured skull.”

I think #3 is the false one…not sure why…
Author
We’ll see, Heather!
Hahaha all quite funny! #4 was a true burst-out laughing one, so that’s my choice.
The double rainbow is amazing. Psalm 46: 1-2 is also one of my favorites. When we do the Be still and know…part, in verse 10, God’s presence is quite delightful. Oh, but sometimes it’s so hard to be still.
The peace of the LORD be with you today.

I’m glad I gave you your laugh for the day, Barbara! And thanks for letting me know the blog hadn’t shown up. I forgot to schedule it. lol We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
Beautiful photo and verse. I love Psalm 46.
These are really funny. I’ll vote for #3.
Author
Hi Kay! Glad you liked the photo and verse. Whenever my ADHD gets going, I focus on the Be still and know I am God. 🙂 And I’m glad I gave you a laugh this morning. 😉 We’ll see if it’s #3, which seems to be very popular!

We’ll see BN!
I am guessing you make up #1.

Hi Gloria! We’ll see if that’s the one I made up. 😉

Hi Shelia! We’ll see…
I love double rainbows. That Psalm is so comforting.
Pat, I’ve got to learn not to be drinking anything when I read your mystery questions. I almost had to clean Gatorade from my keyboard! I think you made up #4. How would removing your hair (wig I presume) reveal a fractured skull, and the person not originally think he/she was injured?
Tim, I agree with you. I can’t drink when I’m reading this blog. Too many bursts of laughter.
Author
Hehehe…Tim. I love making people spit their Gatorade. lol We’ll see how your logic works next week. And I love double rainbows, too…actually any rainbow.
I’m looking forward to reading Counter Attack. Number 3 is a popular answer, and I’m going with the crowd today!
Author
We’ll see, Vera. I hope you enjoy Counter Attack when you read it!
Hilarious! I vote #4 this time!
Author
So glad you thought the post was hilarious, Paula. We’ll see if it’d #4 next week.

Author
We’ll see, Patricia.
#2 why would someone be taking a bird to a hospital, and why would they be loose in a car?
Author
Good questions, Gail. We’ll see next week if it’s #2.
#2 I’m going with the canary.
Author
Hi, Mary! We’ll see next week!
#3

Hi Ms Barb…we’ll see!
I love the picture and verse. To paraphrase an old song from maybe the 60s the picture caused me to recall: “Double portion of my Father’s love!”
I chose #4. I can definitely see the second one happening. I’ve been in a somewhat similar situation at least three times when involved in an accident due to a distraction. I’m still trying to sort out that third one.
Author
As always, Edward, I love your logic. We’ll see next week what the correct answer is!
Beautiful photo. I’m going with #1.
Author
Thanks, Diana! We’ll see next week!
I’m going with # 1, however, my first thought was # 3. Then I realized this is what happened to me. I fishtailed halfway around, and it was a 1959 Cadillac. LOL!
Author
Hi DJ! I’ve done that fishtail thingy too! We’ll see if it’s #1 next week.
Author
Hi DJ! I’ve done that fishtail thingy too! We’ll see if you guessed correctly next week.
Ahhh! Love your photo and verse as usual! God has given us so many visual reminders of His love and faithfulness!
I’m going to guess #2 this week
Author
Yes he has, L. We’ll see next week if it’s #2.
#2 Beautiful photo and scripture.
Author
Thanks, Lucy! We’ll see next week.
Love the photo and scripture, Pat!
#3

#4 made me laugh, but I’m going to guess #1 is false.
