Whenever I buy something, I always get a receipt. That way, if I ever get wrongfully accused of a crime, I whip out my receipt, and BAM I'm off the hook.
Just imagine: a bare, 60-watt lightbulb swings gently from its cord a few feet above my head. In the dank, windowless room, it's just enough light to make out the silhouetted figure of the tough-as-nails police detective who's putting me through the wringer. Lime scale is barely visible on the dank concrete block walls. The musty odor of mold and lost hopes is unmistakable.

Make it easy on yourself and tell me why you committed the murder, pal.-I didn't.

Oh yeah?-Yeah, see, I bought a roll of tropical-fruit Lifesavers at the exact time of the murder.

Oops.Lifesavers: The sweet taste of vindication.
