Another no.

Roger hung up the phone and sighed.
“Another no.” He said to himself. With his left hand he held the ruler steady and with his right, drew a line through the name in the phone book.
He had been at this for years, but he knew it was worth it. His father had always told him that hard work and persistence pays off. He had now reached the “L” pages of the phone book and he had a good feeling that the law of averages were on his side. He picked up the phone and punched in the next number.

“He’s right outside the door.” Dorothy said slowly. Her whisper barely audible to the 9-1-1 Operator on the other end of the line.
“What is he doing ma’am?” the Operator asked.
“I don’t know.” Dorothy gasped, breathlessly. “I think he’s listening for me.”
Dorothy heard the Operating typing on the other end of the phone line. “And you say he’s been stationed there all morning?”
“Yes.” Dorothy whispered. “He’s just been staring at the front door.”
“Ma’am, I have officers on the way.” The operator said fimly, “Please just stay exactly where you are.”
“Yes.” Dorothy replied, crying.

“How dare they!”
“The nerve. The absolute nerve!”
“Don’t they know this is our parking lot? Who do they think they are?!”
“Go say something!”
“I’m not going anywhere near them. Disgusting!”
“We need to get to our car.”
“We’ll wait them out.”
“But they’re eating, they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.”
“I tell you Agnes, this neighborhood is going downhill fast. When there’s an absolute disregard for public property, that’s the first sign of the fall.”
“I’m calling the police!
“I thought you called them when you saw them walking by earlier.”
“I did. But I’m calling them again!”

I’ve been thinking a lot about the police blotter stories I’ve written and posted here and I think the new goal with them is to get to where I’ve written 100 of them and then collect them all into a book tentatively titled: 100, 100 Word Crimes in Burlingame. Or something. I’ll try and find a publisher for it and, if not, just release it myself.
One of these days, I’ll have to go through and see how many I have. I don’t think I’m at 100 yet. May not even be over 50, but it’s a fun goal to work towards.

How many times has this happened to you?
You head out on an overnight camping trip with your buddies. You’ve got your tent, your sleeping bag, your fishing pole, a change of clothes and cooler full of food and beer.
You set up camp, but as the sun sets you realize, you forget to bring a flashlight!
There’s no need to fear, as long as that’s a six-pack of Schlemer’s in your cooler! Each can of Schlemer’s comes with a flashlight built into the bottom of the can!
Don’t stay in the dark! Drink Schlemers!
Please remember, drink responsibly!
