Jonathan Clement's Blog: Know Doubt: Poor Judge Of One's Own Competence.

FYI: ONE SPRING DAY in 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two banks near his Pittsburgh home and robbed them at gunpoint.

His plan had one critical flaw: The disguise he chose didn’t hide his face at all. Instead of the usual stocking cap or hat and sunglasses, Wheeler made an unconventional choice. He applied a coating of lemon juice to his face. His reasoning: Lemon juice could be used to make invisible ink, so Wheeler figured it would have the same effect on his face, making it invisible to surveillance cameras.

Because he was so easily identified, Wheeler was arrested just hours later. As police led him away, Wheeler sighed in disbelief. “But I wore the juice,” he said.

Ted
