I Can Shorten His Search

 

A young Eager-To-Succeed New Federal Employee is hired and told he has one job and that is to know where Hunter Biden is at all times. At first his job is a piece of cake but out of the blue one day he finds he is in deep trouble because Hunter has disappeared and he fears his Cushy Federal Career is at an end!

Fella is not here to say Eager-To-Succeed could come to me and I will always be able to tell him where Hunter is but I can assure you (and him) that I can narrow down his search for him. I will always be able to give him a for certain where Hunter is not and then he only has to look everyplace else which means he can find Hunter more quickly than he could have if I had not narrowed his field of search for him.

Oops! Did I forget to tell you where Hunter is not? Forgive me...

With absolute certainty I could always assure you (and him) that Hunter Is Not In Jail but there is a good chance Jail Is exactly where I will be going if my local Library can carry through with its recent threats directed at me.

************

As you may remember we recently moved. Since the move we have been to our Local Public Library several times, we have borrowed and returned a few books. Our library, however, says we did not return one of the books we borrowed and it has sent me a carefully worded threat that has me very nervous about the possibility that I may be heading for Jail...

...If such person shall thereafter willfully and knowingly fail to return such article within 15 days, such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment for not more than 30 days.”

Do you see why I’m feeling less than loved and warmly welcomed in my new county of residence?

I bet Hunter never received such a nasty letter as this nasty letter is nasty.

If, after I unpack my 30 overnight bags and look in the next cell and see Hunter in there, I promise I will text Young Eager-To-Succeed New Federal Employee and tell him that he should come look in the cell next to mine.

However, I do not think I will ever send such a text message because there ain’t no way Hunter is gonna be in any jail cell anywhere in the Good Ole USofA even if he were to check out and not return a half dozen books from my Local Public Library.

Hunter is not afraid of my Local Public Library but I sure am.

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: Here is what I did. I threw in the towel. I called my library and begged to be allowed to pay for the lost book (which I really think I have already returned). I did this because I knew that my Local Public Library had many lawyers at its disposal and I do not even have a brother-in-law who used to be a lawyer. I paid $28.99 for that book I probably already returned.

Lagniappe Part 2: Now I am sitting here perplexed and trying to understand how a measly $28.99 could be equated to a $500 fine or 30 days in a jail cell that is not even next to Hunter Biden’s Jail Cell.
