I tried to turn myself into a antenna and it did not work. Maybe I was holding my mouth wrong or something.

You forgot to tell people they have to have a few drinks first to get fullest human-antenna effect. Also, it can't hurt to show cops this trick when stopped; might avert a DUI.

THAT might help.

Where did you find a black index card?

Took me a while to figure out, but it was a DIY from materials found in the recycle bin.

Hey thanks! I just made one.

I found a small piece of black leather in the bottom of a gift box. I pulled the leather out and it already had some sticky on the back. Placed it on a 3X5 card and trimmed to size. Whoaaaaaaaaaaa! Gotta love this place.
