Duct Tape Robber
In last week's issue there was the story of an alleged robber who wrapped his head in duct tape as a disguise. But I forgot that I had photos of this brain surgeon to show you! But first, the story, from the 9 September issue:

We See You Too
A robber who stepped into Shamrock Liquors in Ashland, Ky., had a unique idea to hide his identity: he wrapped his head in duct tape. Store manager Bill Steele also had some duct tape -- wrapped around a club, which he used as a weapon to repel the intruder. Another employee chased down the robber and held him for police, who pulled off the tape. Luckily for Kasey G. Kazee, 24, it was hot that day, and his profuse sweat kept the tape from pulling off all of his hair -- or his skin. He has been charged with first-degree robbery. (AP) ...Those brutal cops! They should have taken him to a nice, air-conditioned hospital to wait for a doctor to remove the tape.
And here are the photos:

Everybody's missing the point here. Do you have any idea how much money this guy is gonna make suing people? The police, the liquor store, the employee that helped chase him down, the duct tape manufacturer?? I'm sure there were no warnings on the package, alerting him that putting duct tape on your hide while attempting a robbery will cause pain & suffering upon removal. He's gonna make a million. Possibly enough for a new set of lips....

Faye would have a nice point, if the *person* had the insight to think about it. He doesn't. Its sad what the bored idiots here will come up with. I'm sadly ashamed and want to assure you that not all of us are that dumb, I promise! I swear you should have to pass a test b4 you are allowed to breed....
