Move over CSI: The housekeepers are coming
Larry Mundy’s columns are always a hoot, but this one was extraordinary: The Forensic Hotel Housekeeper. A snip:
- I am a big fan of all the âCSIâ shows on television â CSI Las Vegas, CSI Miami, CSI New York, CSI East Topeka â and Iâm always fascinated at the high-tech ways the Perfect Crime inevitably unravels under mass-spectrometer analysis, DNA testing, and dusting the whole scene with magic powders. If Sherlock Holmes only had supercomputers and handheld narrow-spectrum light wands, there would have been no crime in London. I find myself looking for clues in the form of discarded fortune-cookie slips or smudges on my car bumper, even though I havenât found myself in the vicinity of actual wrongdoing for months.
Thatâs why, in my next life, I want to be a hotel housekeeper.
And it just gets better from there.
