About that Sox cap
Is it safe to assume yet that anyone who is over the age of 12 and wearing a Sox cap but is not a professional baseball player must be a criminal? I may have to start profiling people this way. It reminds me of a day I spent in court listening to a bunch of petty criminal cases. The judge asked every defendant, "Were you drinking, and if so, what?", and the answer every single time was, "Yes, Budweiser." I now keep a wary eye on Bud drinkers: you just never know.

Best Buy is having a sale on sarcasm meters
No reason to go without one any longer.

I thought there was a hint of irony in the "new sincerity" that's been going around lately. Guess not.
The evidence linking Sox caps to crime is strong
For instance, have you seen this? http://www.tabloidprodigy.com/?p=7061
It's pretty obvious to me that wearing a Sox cap leads to crime, or being a criminal leads to wearing Sox caps, take your pick. Either way, I'm keeping my eye on you.
I'm not saying stop being a Sox fan: I've been an avid fan for many years, hold season tickets at Fenway, but I'm trying to stay on the straight and narrow, so no Sox ballcaps for me.
Also, if you drink Bud *and* wear a Sox ballcap, you might as well just turn yourself in now.
Our dumb criminals
Looks like this bank robber got ripped off - look at the state of that "Sox" cap!
The bigger question...
there's still a functioning Blockbuster outlet in this town?
Is that a promise or a threat?
Yep. And the cops will be waiting for you!
