…When you gets to checking contents of the local loony bin
You’ll find we got more loonies out than we got loonies in…Monroe D. Underwood
The silver-gray Porsche arrived just short of midnight and I got in.
I said Brandy where the hell have you been?
I said a man could get killed in this goddam insane asylum.
Brandy said sorry Purdue.
She said I rode Lochinvar X. back to the farm.
She said I bought him and made arrangements to have him shipped to Chicago.
She said I was nearly here when I had to stop for Suicide Lewisite.
I said I thought he committed suicide with the American Legion cannon.
Brandy said he missed.
She said the poor man was frightened out of his wits.
I said well he should have been.
I said he leveled the Radish River City Hall and there was a lynch mob on his trail.
Brandy said that wasn’t it.
She said he had just stepped on Zanzibar McStrangle’s toe.
She said I took him down the back streets to the Radish River freight yard and he caught an outbound boxcar.
She said it was full of footballs.
