So I learned one thing for sure. It is not as easy to make a ransom note as it looks. I guess this is how they made them in the Lindbergh era. Before CSI.
I had little letters and pieces of newspaper all over my kitchen. It was sort of like when you take out the Christmas tree...... and for weeks you are finding pine needles in places you cleaned up already.
I had cut up newspaper pages in my trash. With just the right letters missing from each of those pages.
Each letter was glued to the piece of 8.5 x 11 paper I had pulled from my printer. That means each letter had my fingerprints preserved in the aforementioned glue.
Of course Ialso had dried glue on my fingertips.
I was an FBI agent's dream come true.

LOL - you wear double latex gloves to cut out the letters, use a paintbrush to spread the glue on a sheet of paper out of a brand new pack you've never touched bare-handed, use tweezers to lay the letters in place and let dry. One ransom note, sans fingerprints. (of course, the way my hair falls out, they probably wouldn't NEED fingerprints, they'd have DNA.)
ReplyDeleteWendy, you are right. Then the phone would ring. Lost in conversation I would fail to notice the paper gently wafted by a breeze into the chair. I would sit on it and the glue covered ransom note would become permanently attached to my big ol' behind!
