Service Dog

Posted on by torkel2020

Apparently this Service Dog didn’t need to provide round the clock services nor wear a leash. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa had a strict policy concerning dogs: none were allowed. the Face of Everyman tried to engage in polite conversation until Animal Control could arrive. The Nightly News would show a grainy photo of the perp.

Natasha sought out the Face of Everyman. Her complaint was the same as always; housekeeping at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa had not changed the straw in the dove cote. The venerable sage knew that this one omission was enough to lose a star on the Michelin rating. He would forego his nap to set this matter straight.

Chowder-head wanted to become a standup comic. His delivery was poor. the Face of Everyman suggested that he warm up his audiences with easy to remember Knock-knock jokes.

One of the things that got under Mycroft’s skin was the monthly Pigeon census. How come the vulnerable sage didn’t count songbirds? the Face of Everyman was part of a secret study designed to show that the loss of heroic statues in city parks should be reflected in a reduction in the number of pigeons. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa had melted down their last statue some time ago and was excluded from the study. Cannons were next.

The circuit rider Judge had only one case on this mornings docket. Mullard was charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct in and about the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. He pleaded guilty and was contrite. the Face of Everyman asked the court for a lenient sentence. “Three days on bread and water.” pronounced the Judge. The venerable sage was reminded of his years as ballast on old sailing ships. There, a few lashes from the cat-o-nine tails was added as a nice touch.

As birds returned to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa from their traditional migration spots, the Face of Everyman inquired about conditions for retirement in those warm climates. So far, Costa Rica was getting rave reviews.

Cheeky had worn his most thread bare suit to come down to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa to apply for a payday loan. the Face of Everyman was up to this sort of trick and wondered aloud, “What became of the stimulus check he cashed last week?”
