Pro tip: If you're a wanted man, don't wear a shirt that says 'Wanted'

3/21/2013

A wanted man from Taiwan was arrested after a police officer noticed the giant English word "Wanted" on the front of his shirt. The man, identified only as Wu, neither read nor spoke English, so he had no idea what he'd been advertising on his tee. The cop, however, had taken an elementary English course and approached Wu to ask him about it. After typing Wu's name into the computer, his fugitive status for drug abuse was revealed. Wu said that he wouldn't have worn the shirt if he'd know what the word meant and that the incriminating garment had been a gift from his son. Maybe next time he'll get an English dictionary. [Source]
