What does it say about me that I bought both of these "Crime" books?

Subject: [U2] OT: Pick pocket guide
Reminds me of the book, Eats Shoots and Leaves, how easy it is to hear
what you want to read into something that isn’t meant by the author if they
don’t use proper punctuation. I really do wonder how often people have similar
issues with a book title, or a programmer document. I had a friend write a
document called “ODBC on the Fly”, and so his image was the Acronym on the side
of a zoomed in Fly.

I recently stumbled across this link
http://www.jes.com/mvpubs/ppg4.html
I love the comment at the bottom, about them being held up or confiscated at
customs.
I remember when I moved from one apartment to another, my wife's two uncles
both police officers, were gravely concerned, took me into another room and
demanded an explaination as why I had a "pick pocket guide". It didn't help at
the time when I started laughing! saying, it's not a "pick pocket guide", but
rather
it's a "pick, pocket guide".
I still wonder to this day, if they really believed it was programming
reference book.
