The Measure of Incompetence
If you think you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in big trouble
In 1994, Clifton Johnson heard a rumor that if you wipe lemon juice on your face, your face would be invisible to cameras.
He told his friend McArthur Wheeler about this. Not surprisingly, Mac was a bit skeptical. So he decided to test it out.
McArthur covered his face in lemon juice, and then took a photo of himself with his Polaroid camera.
Lo and behold, McArthur’s lemon-covered face didn’t show up in the photo.*
Pretty excited about this revelation, the boys decided to use it to their benefit.
On January 6, 1995, the lads covered their faces in lemon juice, grabbed their handguns, and proceeded to rob two banks.
Keep in mind, they didn’t wear masks or any other disguises – they just smeared lemon juice on their faces so that they would remain invisible to the security cameras.
