Tick Warning!

KTC · Jul 30, 2008

This is a very serious tick scam warning...

I hate it when people give out bogus warnings, and I have even done it
myself a couple times unintentionally...but this one is real, and it's important. So please tell everyone you know.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!! They only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

Tink · Jul 30, 2008

Great, now you tell us...but the good news is--I didn't have any ticks!

Hey, I am a licensed tick checker, and generalizations like this give us a bad name. Now, who was next?

DeleyanLee · Jul 30, 2008

And here I was hoping that there was a new run of The Tick cartoons coming out.

Well, damn.

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you. Did they take pictures? Have any of them shown up on the Internet?

StoryG27 · Jul 30, 2008

I mean, er um. Who we talking about?

That's how I always answer the door.

Thanks for the heads up. Shouldn't be a problem for me though, considering I am a nudist and everything. I sit now in my leather office chair, and how nice does it feel against my cool tushy.

Shadow_Ferret · Jul 30, 2008

Just pray it hasn't been sitting in the hot sun all day before you sit down.

Tink · Jul 30, 2008

Or before he has to get up quickly and his hide sticks to the leather...ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!

You two sound like you have experience. I was just kidding, but if nudity is your thing, whatever floats your boat I guess.
