Early Monday morning
I discovered, to my dis-tress,
that, sometime during the
previous evening, somebody
had stolen my car.
ii.
I immediately called the police
& filed a report.
The police-man they sent to my
apartment told me that
they would do their best,
but not to hold out too much hope.
iii.
On the following Monday,
the same police-man called me,
and in a hopeful voice, said that
they had located my vehicle,
but, he warned, it had been
stripped of everything.
iv.
“OK,” I said. “I’ll come by and pick it up —- ”
But the policeman interrupted me & said,
“We’ll just mail it to you.”
v.
A week later,
I rec’d an envelope in the mail from the police.
vi.
Inside the envelope was
my windshield wiper blade.
vii
Under-neath the blade
was a ticket.
I imagine the WWE organisation has a guy whose only job is to order more foldable tables.

Something similar happened to me in my late teens/early twenties. One morning I found my car missing from where I’d parked it the night before on a side street (no garage). After reporting it to the police, a cop called an hour or two later to say they’d found my car. When I asked where, the cop said on the nearby main street in a ‘no parking’ zone, adding “Are you sure you didn’t park it there, and report it stolen to avoid a parking ticket?” Needless to add, I lost a bit of respect for the police on that day.

Why did the police mail the wiper blade to you? Don’t they have a blade runner?
(And was that car a Ford?)

And he’s back! LOL. Good one. Wouldn’t the WWE guy also buy folding chairs? When I was a kid I saw folding chairs being used, but maybe the WWE has needed to up their game.

Thanks, PiF, I imagine they have a whole team on folding-chair repair.
