Here’s a Novel Idea

From the “why didn’t I think of that?” department comes this newsy tidbit.

Fake ‘Doctor’ Offers Door-To-Door Breast Exams

Certainly is creative.

People are often annoyed at door-to-door sales people, but they were downright offended at what one man was offering to women who answered his knock. Police say the man went door-to-door carrying a doctor’s bag and offering free breast examinations, and actually got two women to take him up on his offer.

Fell for the old “let me see you naked” line, huh?

OK, so you’re thinking, this must be a young stud pulling this off (no pun intended of course).

Not exactly . . .

WFOR-TV is reporting that 76 year old William Winikoff of Coconut Creek, Florida has been arrested for his free breast exams

OK, more the Marcus Welby type. So the women must have been old & senile, right?

Guess again.

two women, both in their 30’s, agreed to allow him to examine their breasts in their apartments, after representing himself as a doctor making a house call.

That should have been a tip off. What doctors make house calls?

As bizarre as the Winikoff’s story is, investigators believe the two women assaulted today may not be the first to fall for the phony breast exam scheme, and they are asking anyone who may have taken advantage of Winnikoff’s ‘examinations’ to contact the Broward Sheriffs’ Office.
