He always wore long sleeve shirts and sweaters to cover up the tally marks that he tattooed on his arms every time he shot someone. Sadly I JUST found out that this wasn’t true. \*\* I had to tell my own mother that wasn’t true when she sent me that e-mail. It was tough to do. ---

I’ve seen the footage as well, although the word the poor woman used wasn’t “butt”. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-urban-legend/195982.md?page=4)
