Perhaps his awe at being touched by the noodly appendage caused a brief loss of bowel control?

Perhaps you could wear a dog-collar or a kippah? Or tack up an inspirational poster that says something like "The most Powerful Prayer is Private. Go quietly to speak with God" Or some other such mush which might make them assume you have deep faith and at the same time leave you alone about it.

It's his very own little meatball.

I see the FSM is still about.

when you go to put on that new garment you just bought . . . and the electronic tag is still on, meaning you have to go BACK to the damn store!

I have a shirt they didn't take the electronic tag off and I haven't taken it back out of sheer forgetfulness. That was about 2 years and two moves ago! Too late now. Is there any other way to remove those tags?

Go into a store that uses them and ask them pretty please. Look honest, otherwise they might just call Security anyway.

That's what I'm afraid of:

Rent-a-cop: Ma'am, where'd you get this shirt?

Me: I bought it a few years ago.

RAC: Suuuuuuuuuurrrre, do you have a receipt?

Me: Uh, no, I've moved twice since then, I could barely find the shirt.

RAC: You're coming with us to the station. Crime Scene Investigation will get to the bottom of this

Music swells, camera pans to my panic-stricken face, then to RAC's smug look of justice...annnnnnnnndddd...we're out.

If you were in Miami I'd say go for it. You'd get to be interrogated by Horatio

Any problem can be solved with a Dremel.

I found that really interesting (well written & illustrated)

I had a slight problem with this though:

Quote:

The most questionable part of the design is that the glass breaks into small slivers which could easily stick the wearer. If this had happened to me I would have sued the store.

You wear an item of clothing you know still has the security tag attached to it, rather than return it to the store... What ground do you have for suing them when the tag breaks?

Part of my Dremel set-up. I've posted some of my work previously.
There are a few of those attachment boxes.
A great site!
Awesome prices & you can get stuff you cannot get in the US or in most retail stores, even specialty stores.

so I took my garment back (an hour round trip). They were pretty nice about it, apologized, and refunded me 30% of the purchase price. More than paid for my gas (but not my time)

It also didn't compensate you for the fun you lost by not getting to remove the tag with a Dremel. Oh, well.
