ChapNews Volume 13: Escape Artist

I have been trying to warm up to a new balm in vain. Vain, I tell you! What started out as decent has turned into abysmal. More on that tomorrow. Meantime, enjoy this tidbit about a crafty criminal. It's like Houdini meets Shawshank, plus lip balm:

McNair has a history of escapes.

He has used lip balm to slip out of handcuffs, and clawed his way through a prison ventilation system to gain temporary freedom.

In his latest escape, he hid in a pile of mailbags and was shipped to a local warehouse before he began running down nearby railway tracks.

He was stopped by a local police officer looking for him, but managed to talk his way out of the arrest by convincing the officer he was someone else, and just out for a jog.
