A Likely Story

Oh, ah… you’re probably wondering why I’m taking this… you see it’s, uhm… I’m a food inspector, yeah that’s it, from the hamburger bun division, and… we’re doing a spot check of all buns in the tri-county area, strictly routine… erhm…

Oh, cut me a break, it’s not like any one else eats out of here!

    This reminds me of the time I caught a squirrel stealing an entire slice of pizza out of a garbage can. It was a fat squirrel too – I guess that was a lucrative garbage can!

      I once saw a squirrel running with a whole slice of pizza in its mouth. I wish I had taken a picture of it. the pizza was larger than the squirrel.

      Was it on a college campus? They have the fattest, and most shameless, squirrels. In my freshman year I saw one making off with an entire blueberry bagel — it couldn’t run while carrying it, so every time someone passed by it had to stop and chitter threateningly at them, in case they were thinking of taking its bagel.

    JERRY: So lemme get this straight: you find yourself in the kitchen. You see an clair, in the receptacle. And you think to yourself, “What the hell, I’ll just eat some trash.”

    GEORGE: No, no. No, no, no. It was not trash!

    JERRY: Was it in the trash?

    GEORGE: Yes.

    JERRY: Then it was trash.

    GEORGE: It wasn’t down in, it was sort of on top.

    JERRY: But it was in the cylinder!

    GEORGE: Above the rim.

    JERRY: Adjacent to refuse, is refuse.

    GEORGE: It was on a magazine! And it still had the doily on.

    JERRY: Was it eaten?

    GEORGE: One little bite.

    JERRY: Well, that’s garbage.

    GEORGE: But I know who took the bite. It was her aunt!

    JERRY: Well, you, my friend, have crossed the line that divides Man and Bum. You are now a Bum.
