&#60;p&#62;Do you want to be known as just another killer, or do you want to join the elite, with a name that everyone knows: the Boston Strangler, Jack the Ripper? I&#34;m not sure you're taking the serial killing business seriously enough...

			<description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;blockquote&#62;Without the repetitive aspect, serial killing is just killing. Stands to reason... &#60;/blockquote&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Like this one, btw.&#60;/p&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Cinq.  Funny and original.  I think other people still hate you, though.  So the votes may not pour in.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;At 12.24pm last Tuesday, Linda Carstairs slowed down as she pushed a fully-laden trolley down aisle 4 (ketchups, ethnic sauces, marinades) of the 24-hour Tesco hypermarket in Salford, Greater Manchester, and came to a halt, unable to go any further, opposite a display of Loyd Grossman cook-in sauces. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;“I just couldn’t take another step”, Linda recalls. “It was like my feet were stuck to the floor. I was halfway through the weekly shop, on my way to aisle 5 to pick up a couple of ham &#38;amp; pineapple pizzas - they were on special offer that day - when this great weariness overwhelmed me. As I stood there, with my trolley loaded up with food and drink, nothing seemed to matter any more. The things that usually get me excited - a new flavour of spaghetti sauce, say, or a ‘buy one, get one free’ offer on potato waffles - seemed to lose all meaning. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;“I tried to read the nutritional information on a pack of Tesco own-brand Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, but the list of vitamins and minerals - per spoon, per bowl, per skip - didn’t make any sense to me. And the serving suggestion - ‘pour into bowl, add milk’ - just rang hollow. Saturated fats? &#60;em&#62;Un&#60;/em&#62;saturated? Does anybody understand? Does anybody care?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;“I saw some firelighters; the packet said ‘improved’, but how do you improve a firelighter? I’d put two bottles of Ajax liquid into the trolley. One, a green liquid, was ‘for kitchens; the other, blue, was ‘for bathrooms’. What was I thinking of? “I saw apples with stickers on. What’s that all about? You only have to peel them off. And that packet of ‘hand-cooked’ crisps, with the picture of a smiling farmer on the front, was made in an industrial estate outside Middlesborough. Suddenly, everything I’d believed in was starting to unravel. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;“When Geoff got his promotion we decided the Carstairs family was ready to move up to Tesco’s ‘Finest’ range. It was a proud moment, for Geoff and me and the kids, like we’d ‘arrived’; we even put a small announcement in the local paper. After years of scrimping and saving, I really felt like the woman in the advert. Then, last Tuesday, shopping lost its sparkle for me.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;“I couldn’t stand still for ever, of course, and eventually I managed to drag myself to the checkout. On the way, on aisle 12, I saw a special offer on L’Oreal hair-care products, and I rallied a bit. Who knows, maybe I &#60;em&#62;am&#60;/em&#62; ‘worth it’ after all”...
