If those men don't get out, it will be a tragedy all round, but if, as we hope, they are eventually rescued, that guy will probably volunteer to come up last. It gets my mind working on how personal secrets get exposed during dramatic events. There was a Harrison Ford movie about a plane crash that exposed the affair two of the dead passengers were having.<br /><br />It's not just crime stories that can give you ideas--but that's a good place to start.AliasMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215864597874551595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-12396582035801999322010-09-07T21:48:16.904-04:002010-09-07T21:48:16.904-04:00what a great column.

I haven't a clue, well, except for the pockets, and you can be darn sure, I'd be searching everyone including pockets in files, etc.<br /><br />As for the nurse meeting her father after 41 years, in fiction, we'd get nailed on coincidence ;)<br /><br />But in addition to newspapers, if you've ever listened to talk radio, in particular finance advice or expert advice, you can find some amazing potential plots.<br /><br />Yesterday a man said he responded to a work from home ad when all the prospective owner wanted the guy to do was evaluate three local businesses. He did, and a few weeks later, he received a check for $2600 from the Netherlands.<br /><br />Long story short, the scam involved Western Union, which the guy then admitted to the radio broadcaster was one of the businesses he was told to investigate.<br /><br />The guy obviously hurting for money was dying to cash the check at one of those quick check cashing businesses. The expert said, Don't do it. Trust me, don't do it. These are not nice people running these businesses.<br /><br />Yep, truth is stranger than fiction.
