JIMMY MESSERSCHMITT 
SMITH, A QUITE 
RAUCOUS FELLOW

Since he started this stuff, he believes

in nothing at all or everything at once

and says it all the same to him. Why 

didn't I think of that? And then he says

I should watch out because Mother's

Day is coming and I'm not prepared.

So I'm going to Summer Camp for

that, even though he says it'll be

too late. 'But good for next year,

right?' I ask. He stands outside the

circle, I notice, as he answers,'Take

your blue eyeshades down and put 

up a new mantel, the fire inside this

one is going out.' So I look up the

chimney and see he's right. 'But, 

hmmm, nice legs,' I say. I thought

there was a woman in the room, of

a sudden, but I was mistaken. It's

Larry Jedd the furrier instead. He's

got a package for 'Mr. Smith.' The

card says, 'bang, bang, you're dead.'

We carefully unwrap the pistol

inside. It's made of chocolate! 

Jimmy then turns to Jedd and says

'Are we even doing an Easter this

year, or something else instead?'
