You're right, Richard.... Sometimes near enough just ain't good enough....

Here's another interesting news story I read recently....

A Russian criminal was crossing the border between Ukraine and Slovakia.

But as he crossed the passport control booth, his fake ears fell off!

He had asked a surgeon to glue some fake ears on him to help with his disguise, but the surgeon had used a cheap glue....

So the moral of the story is: When gluing fake ears on, make sure you use a quality adhesive. :)

Thanks, Richard, for sharing those stats.... :)

Cheers,
