Merry Christmas, Family Man!

“Sheriff’s Office.”

“Hey. Listen, my neighbor, Family Man, is hiding drugs in his woodpile?”

“Oh. Is that so?”

“Yeah. One of the logs is hollowed-out inside; he’s keeping the stuff in that.”

20 minutes later, the entire Sheriff’s department descends on Family Man’s house. They go through the entire woodpile, chopping each one open. After over an hour, they split the last log, find no drugs, and drive off disgruntled.

Our hero, who has been watching the entire operation, watches them drive away, then picks up the phone. “Hi, it’s Family Man. Thanks again for letting me use your phone!”

Merry Christmas, FM! Unfortunately, this only works once.

  3. Hey ladies. We're doing pretty good. Mrs. Fetched's flu turned out to be the one-day variety.

    We managed to get out for the weekend, mostly, after all. Got some Christmas shopping done & got Daughter Dearest [omitted]. ;-)

  5. Hiya FAR.

    Now why didn't I think of that when we used the fireplaces. I'm proud of ya FAR. You've gotten into creative slacking thinking. :)

    Glad you and Mrs. Fetched are feeling better.

    Merry Christmas FAR!

  7. Hey all!

    FM, I'm glad you liked it. I heard this story and immediately thought of you. My greatest fear was that you'd done it.

    I suppose I should post an update about the weekend...

Comments are welcome, and they don't have to be complimentary. I delete spam on sight, but that's pretty much it for moderation. Long off-topic rants or unconstructive flamage are also candidates for deletion but I haven’t seen any of that so far.

I have comment moderation on for posts over a week old, but that’s so I’ll see them.
