But how will we tell them apart now?

Honestly, I was going to let it slide when, while examining the picture from Rusty's camera, I noticed that Mr. Goldshirt and the longshoreman had inexplicably switched shirts.  I thought, "Okay, there was just a little mix up in the coloring process, and it's only the photograph.  I'm sure it'll get fixed."  Well, it didn't, so here we are.  I really hope that those aren't the same clothes they robbed the bank in, but knowing those two, they probably are.  If they had been smart (and so far I'm not getting that from either of them), they should have stopped at a store or garage sale and picked up some knew duds.  That way, when the police are looking for two men, one in a blue shirt and one in a gold shirt, they'd no longer be looking for them, and then they could just put on hats to hide their hair (or lack thereof).  But maybe the clothes are part of the plan as well, and by switching shirts, they hope to throw off the authorities (and given what I've seen of the authorities, the plan stands a good chance of succeeding).  Still, this whole plan could fall apart once the longshoreman finishes falling to the ground, probably cracking his head open on a chair, table, or the floor, and has to be rushed to the emergency room to be treated for drunken stupidity.

But enough about the fashion choices of our criminal friends.  The more important issue concerns the purloined camera.  You know, if I were Moe and Larry ( and I'm going to assume that Larry is the man formerly known as Mr. Goldshirt, and Moe is the man formerly known as the longshoreman for obvious reasons), I would have at least had the sense to take a look at what was in that camera before I kicked back to drink a beer and mess around with a gun that I sincerely hope is not going to be used for fishing.  (That's what dynamite is for, isn't it?)  I mean, right now they're pretty much taking it for granted that the picture is in there.  Me, I'd be too paranoid to just assume that it's there.  In fact, I'd have made sure that it was there shortly after I got the camera to a safe location, and then, after finding the picture, would have immediately deleted it so that if the camera did fall into the wrong hands, the picture wouldn't, but that's just me, and I'm not a criminal.  I'm just paranoid.  (Speaking of paranoia, I don't trust those ducks.  I don't trust those ducks one bit.)
