Do you have to have any sort of a license


to be a private investigator? I am thinking of starting just such an endeavor.

In the UK you don't.

Licensing requirements vary by state. Apparently you get your start by working for one first.

Are you prior law enforcement or something? You've gotta have connections for information in that line of work.

I was an infantry man in the Army. Plus, The Maltese Falcon is one of my favorite movies.

I don’t know much about that but I think you’ll probably just be photographing people fucking around on their spouses.

I think there are some things I don’t want to know about.

I have a friend who did this as a side gig and he said that it was very depressing and obviously heartbreaking when he showed the incriminating photos to the spouse.

I’m real happy to say I’ve never been involved on either side of that sort of exchange!

I do NOT fuck around, I’m really boring.

I have a license to ill, when I take a chill, pill, down by the mill, across the still, to take my fill, with the power drill, cause I got mad skill, up in Brazil, with my homie Phil, while I cook on the grill, cause I got a massive bill, I could use a refill, when I'm listening to Bastille. Get my drift?


Signed, million man.

You’ll need a large high powered sedan, a semi-auto pistol and a really cool set of RayBans. A gigantic mustache would probably help.

A wisecracking black partner would likely be of use.
