Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

“Wake me Friday, Little Potato.”

 

It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week we were a witness to Louis and Larry discussing who had the knowledge to operate the equipment that killed Sandusky. The conversation ended with a declaration by Louis that there were only two people who knew how the machine worked. One was Louis and the other Sandusky. Let’s get back to the police station since Larry is having a discussion with Andrew. Maybe Andrew has another perspective.

 

“So, you say the only two that know how to work that wave machine are Louis and Sandusky himself?”

“According to Louis, those are the only ones he knows about.”

“Okay so let’s take a look at the facts.”

“What facts?”

“Aren’t you the one who keeps saying to look for motive?”

“My wife told me that.”

“Yeah, let’s not get into that too much. I’ll keep believing that you keep saying it.”

“Okay then. What about the motive?”

“Take Sandusky for instance.”

“What about Sandusky?”

“What motive would he have for killing himself?”

“I think you have me. I can’t think of one.”

“Right you are too. So, we can rule him out.”

“Agreed.”

“This leaves Louis.”

“You know, as hard as I want to believe Louis killed Sandusky, I just can’t get there.”

“What would be his motive?”

“Would be like killing his banker. Doesn’t make sense.”

“So, we agree that Louis is not the one either.”

“I think that is the only logical conclusion. Where does that leave us?”

“With a lot of hard work to turn up another suspect.”

“One who knows how to operate the machine and who has the motive to eliminate Sandusky.”

“Think your wife can help?”

“Wow, Andrew you sure took a one-eighty.”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures. We are clearly out of options.”

“I guess I could go back to a fortune-teller who put me in touch with Ruth and see if she can help.”

“I don’t think we have any other options.”

“Man, Andrew you amaze me.”

“Just call me Renaissance man.”

“That fits. Let’s go.”

    Back to the paranormal. Betting it’s someone who simply read the instruction manual. Nobody ever suspects a reader. 😛

    I want to join the pups. They seem to know how to handle this dilemma – just cuddle and go back to sleep. 🙂

    Wow – I agree with these guys today. Does this mean that John doesn’t know either? Nah, I don’t think so. I think the lady mystic has more to offer.

    John,

    So now we venture outside of the only ‘suspects’ and I can’t wait to see how you move the pieces together. They’re dialing up that classic Van Morrison song by going into the mystic . . .

    Now, that was one terrific idea- ask the wife. Definitely a 180, yet exactly what they need. This is so good, John!!

    So now, we are all in agreement. Who can it be? Why not check with a fortune teller… ya never know, right?
    I think we need to move from coffee to a good stiff drink.
