FF – Most Wanted!
Here is my even sillier-than-last-week’s story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Roget Bultot.
Work is mad, I’m doing 11+ hour days, so here’s something I knocked out in my lunch break.

“Newtown’s Most Wanted”, by reporter Tim Pointless
Police are today searching for a band of merciless criminals. Sgt Doughnut from Newtown Constabulary explains:
“They’re roving the streets, cold-bloodedly washing cars without permission, left, right and centre. Left, right and centre!”
I asked Sgt Doughnut why this was such a problem.
“Look at all the suds! You could slip and break a hip! Little bastards. Pardon my French.”
Newtown Constabulary responded with “no comment”, but muttered that “Sgt Doughnut should never have been allowed out near the public, the daft bugger.”
Next week – “Flower Arranging exposé – the dark side of Ikebana”
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Woohoo!

There should be a zero tolerance on things like this… I imagine that the perpetrators to be girls in bikini, so Doughnut might be able to add indecent exposure to the charges of reckless sudding

They’re just a bunch of amateur Felix Ungers. The real Felix would clean up his mess and keep things all as plum tidy as can be

Ha, when I Googled who “Felix Unger” is, he came up as an pioneering Austrian heart surgeon, which confused me a bit (I don’t know if we ever got “The Odd Couple” over here)!

Sgt. Doughnut really isn’t that bright for rising to his rank on the force. Can’t he tell the remnants of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man when he sees them? It shouldn’t take the forensics and baking team to solve this caper…

Dear Ali,
Sgt. Doughnut, eh? Does this mean that the police over there subsist on sweet rolls like our men in blue in the States? We could use some serial car washers in our neighborhood. You are daft…and I love it.
Shalom,
