So this LOST ad has been posted on the walls of corner shops all over my town. Apparently a policeman has lost his gun and is offering a reward for its return.
To the policeman with the missing gun: I’m really sorry man. I bet all of your police friends are making fun of you nonstop. And I bet your boss is none too happy about the fact that a gun has gone missing. Plus it must be kind of hard for you to do your job right now given the fact that you are only packing a billy club. Normally in these situations one would call . . . uhhh . . . the police???
Still, I’m not falling for your reward offer. I’m sure you thought it was a pretty clever idea, and felt pretty proud of yourself when you thought of it. But my guess is that you are looking to save face at this point, and someone stealing your gun is a better story than the fact that you lost it. Good luck to the idiot who shows up hoping for a reward and ends up with a vacation to a Honduran jail . . .
