To save money on camouflage material, simply go through your refrigerator and see what you can scrape up from what's at the bottom of empty jars and tins.

Chutney is a versatile disguise when rubbed in a horizontal or zig zag fashion across your face - imagine your wife's reaction when she returns home to find you peering from inside a cupboard - almost indistinguishable from the hiding spot around you.

Guacamole works well in a garden setting and is great for spying on the neighbours.

In winter go to your front yard and squat in the snow with a clear view of the their house. Pour vanilla yoghurt on and around your head and shoulders and you can go undetected till well into the afternoon.

Mix and match the contents of refrigerator with your hiding environment and enjoy your well deserved privacy.

I can't decide whether I want to laugh at the joke or run away at the seriousness...[+]

Even after reading this suggestion, houmous still seems totally pointless to me.

Ha ha ha... great idea!! Mustard to avoid looking like a tourist in your travels to Asia.

[lyserge], houmous would be great when hiding among stacks of particle board at Home Depot or at a construction site. 'Cos, you know, people are always hiding around stuff like that.

Like salsa at an art show, I suppose.

Works great until your pet comes up and starts licking your face, completely blowing your cover.

Congrats on the reinstatement of 'vagina jam', ben.

Who voted against this? Some people have no sense of houmous.

It's a great sauce of amusement to me anyway...

This mayo or may not work. Still, I'll spread the word.

This explains why you can never find a member of staff at these places.
