How to Avoid a Serial Killer

Serial killers and potential psychopathic murderers are all around us. The best way to protect yourself from being one of their victims is to be aware of the warning signs that these maniacs give off. Serial killer profilers say that it is difficult to determine who will become one but knowing these few safety tips will keep you on the safe side.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Avoid people who have a history of cruelty to any living thing.

2. Stay away from men who sniff their fingers often.

3. Keep an eye on people who are alone in public places and talk to themselves out loud.

4. Beware of guys who ask for help with their vans.

5. If you are a prostitute, being a call girl is always preferable to being a streetwalker.

6. Avoid basements, cellars, attics and crawl spaces of anyone you do not know well.

7. Internet hookups anywhere but in a well populated public place is a bad idea.

8. Hitchhiking is not recommended.

9. Pornography on the walls of an apartment is a bad sign. Leave immediately.

10. Men who call themselves by 3 names are always suspect. The first 2 names are usually something like "Billy Ray" or "Henry Lee."
