Tipster

Ever dreamed of becoming a crime-busting super hero and get the hot girls in distress? Become a tipster! You won't actually be the one to bust crime but you'll be the one to aid the men in blue in catching crooks. This is as close as you can get to realizing your childhood dream. And the police gives out reward for every bit of helpful info they can get. Just cash, no girls. Are you up for the task? As a prerequisite you need to be a good lier otherwise you'll end up floating in the ilog pasig next morning.

Here are tips on how to become a good liar:

1. Believe your own bull. Believe in your own lie and it will become belieavable. You can start by telling yourself daily how handsome you are as if it was the truth and nothing but the truth.

2. Eye channeling. Don't break the staring contest by staring at the ceiling or on the floor.

3. Don't try too hard. Don't add too many details. Don't make a mountain of lies out of a single lie. The simplier the lie the more believable.

4. Stay calm. Lower your voice and minimize distracting behaviors.
5. Don't swear by your dog's grave, or your mother's, or cross your heart, or drag God into it.

Just a useful tidbit:

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's office has approved the release of P5 million to reward tipsters on unlicensed guns as part of the campaign of the Philippine National Police (PNP) against loose firearms.
