And criminals continue to prove that the reason most criminals do what they do, because they're to stupid to do anything else.
Except for high-end con artists, who as we all know from the movies are both smart and cool.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Of course, but that's why they never get caught!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
(x-post with brenda) Heh. This whole "crime makes you stupid" riff is totally going to send erika to her happy place.

I just finished reading The Big Con, a terrific book about large and small grifts and cons from shortly after the Civil War through the Prohibition era (and a major inspiration for the film The Sting), and it's full of stories of amazing, dazzlingly complex and sophisticated cons told to the author years or even decades later by one of the last two or three surviving participants in the cons, once it was finally, finally safe to tell the stories. They were all so pleased with themselves and so much enjoying telling their tales; it must've just killed them to keep silent all those years before.

Big fuckups at work in my department, some of which I've had a small hand in. My boss and my boss's boss have both said that they're worried about their jobs.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Hey, is Victor around, or anyone else who can talk to me about Worcester? I'm trying to figure out the best way to get from NYC to Worcester. It's for work, so they would pay for a plane + car service, but that just seems so fucking stupid. It seems that I can't take the train, since I have to be there for noon and it seems like there's only a train that gets in at 1pm. Thoughts?
Edit: Maybe Amtrak to the commuter rail. Hmm.
Plane and car might be the best way to go, actually, if the train schedule's that screwy. Would this be a weekday? I'd swear there's something earlier, although Lea had problems dealing with the train, too.
