lessons learned

In the past year I have been watching an awful lot of those true life murder shows - 48 hours Mystery, Dateline (ah the glories of Keith Morrison, but that's another topic for another time.) and I have learned two very valuable lessons:

1) when you are stabbed and the weapon is still imbedded in the wound,DON"T TAKE IT OUT! Leave it there until medical attention arrives.

2) After you commit a murder and are questioned by the authorities make sure you weep and wail and perhaps cry out "Why? Oh WHY?" Otherwise everyone, authorities,neighbors,casual passerbys will comment on your lack of affect. " He was strangely quiet" lack of emotion= obvious guilt
