2. don't come up to the cash register and then stare at the cashier like a bollixed water buffalo when she seems to expect you to transfer her something pecuniary...and then you-get-it! dig in your ugly purse for your checkbook. enough of you special-needs store-visitors. dig it, ponygirls: if you want to purchase goods, you have to give them money...every single time! no, i'm not kidding. they never just let you walk out. knowing this, plan ahead.

3. when you commit to murdering people, don't call your helper immediately before/after the deed is done. a corollary is, don't take the exact amount out of your ATM your hired killer needs to buy his special equipment the day or two before the dirty deed. just basic common sense, people.

If you ever wonder, as I do, if people are faking being as oblivious as they appear to be, the show 48 hours, and the other murder shows, will relieve you: they are. The amount of planning that goes into even the average white murder is astonishingly small, given the stakes.
Most murderers are just too stupid for the job: a cause for rejoicing for homicide detectives everywhere. Apart from obviously lacking the wattage to lay out the complex plans to carry out a successful snuffing, they can't even handle the simple task of keeping their mouths shut - even though they're told it's their right to do so, and that anything they do say will be used to shitcan them. How many times I've laughed when watching interrogation vids, the interrogator (in many cases little more than trained monkey himself) just keeps 'em yapping, grinding them down, often delivering the "the Lawd wants you to tell the truth" coup de grace.....
