FREEZE before you shred, Fred!

Are you tired of white collar criminals going free because they shred the evidence seconds before police arrive? Well, meet The Shred Squad, a bold new approach to law enforcement.

These well-armed soldiers, ingeniously camouflaged by strips of paper, are able to penetrate corporate shredding rooms before the crooks can start covering their trails. From the time the “Shred Red” alarm sounds in their high-tech “Shred Shed,” these specialists can be hand-cuffing fancy-dressed CEOs within minutes.

Or wait, maybe that isn’t what’s happening here at all. Feel free to offer your own suggestions via Post a Comment. There are no wrong answers.

Not quite as flammable as they look. Probably.

Three of the soldiers were waylaid and disappeared. They were discoverd three weeks later in a car wash, strapped to three separate rotating dowels, hungry but alive; clean to within an inch of their lives.

Hate when that happens.
