YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR

I tried to repost this article but it wouldn't work. So, I've linked to the original:

If I had a nickel for every time someone has said I don’t look like a private investigator. . .well, I’d have a lot of nickels. I always reply, “That’s sort of the point, isn’t it?” We’re so used to detective stories having a tough guy in a trench coat, but those guys are easy to spot during a surveillance. When I’m tailing someone, I never worry that they’ll look in their rearview mirror and think, “Oh no, I’m being followed!”—which is exactly what happens if they see Joe Detective behind them. I’ve been very successful in my field, and it has helped that I don’t “look like” a private investigator.

It is meant to be good luck to see that (according to Japan) and for my birthday next month, I7m allowed to get a new MacBook Pro 13 inch! It works! I'll repost that image here for those who didn't see it in the original post. I took this photo with Go...
