Monday evening, Hick and I were watching the finale of Extracted. It's a reality survivor show that we've followed since January. It was in the last 10 minutes, just ready to reveal the winner, when Hick's phone rang. He answered. It was one of his harem from the senior apartments.
"You know that table that was in the upstairs hall? Well, I just thought you should know, it's gone. Somebody took it."
"Yeah. I know. I have it."
"Oh. I thought you'd want to know that it was missing."
"It's fine. I have the table. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
That was pretty quick for getting one of his harem off the phone. After we finished our show, Hick said:
"At least it only took her 12 hours to notice that the table was gone, heh, heh."
"What did she expect you to do, rush over there tonight with a magnifying glass and look for fingerprints? Go door to door and search all the apartments?"
"I don't know what she expected. You never know with them gals."
Maybe Hick can organize his harem into a "neighborhood" watch group, one on each floor.
Lol! Maybe she thought Hick would want to launch an investigation!
ReplyDeleteI like thinking of Hick with a Sherlock Holmes hat and pipe, roaming the halls of the senior apartments!
DeleteHe already has one mystery - "The Elderly Who Smokes Inside when they ought NOT to!"
DeleteHick could write a book, heh, heh! "The Curious Incident of the Smoker in the Daytime."
DeleteBusybody just needs to be heard.
ReplyDeleteI actually think she was satisfied, even though Hick put a quick end to her call.
DeleteWas it just a table someone had discarded?
ReplyDeleteNo, Hick had set the table there while renovating an apartment. He moved it back into the apartment when finished, so they could have a board meeting sitting at it on Tuesday.
