ANTIGONISH*

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... (slam!)
Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away...
* amusingly, this word would work fine with my family’s naming tradition.
I told my Dad about this latest fingerprinting foofaraw- he knew the previous ones- and this first question was “Son, why aren’t you leading a life of crime?”
Tangent: Haven’t used that word in a while; might work well as a name for a Fey character…
It's never too late to start a life of crime!
That Rubicon Con was crossed many years ago.

Hell, at this point my fingerprints are actually more of a waffle pattern... 
( For a couple years after I stopped working at the screen-printing place, I didn't actually have fingerprints on two of my fingers - two years of having my hands in paint thinner all day from cleaning the screens, washing them five or six times a day and all the steam burns from handling the shirts had basically taken the prints clean off of them.)
The time clock at my current job has a fingerprint scanner, and I have to carefully dry my hands and line my finger up perfectly or else it won't read my print. Sometimes it's taken as many as ten tries to scan.
I've always had sort of a rocky relationship with electronic detection devices of all kinds - sometimes automatic doors and motion sensors won't register me either.

Either a missed opportunity to lead a life of crime or to use the fact as a plot point in series of crime/spy novels.
That sounds like a lot of hard work.
