Current dreary fall weather matches the current economic condition. It's so bad that even civil servants have begun to worry about meeting the budget. Desperate times call for innovative measures:
“Vigilantes, Dan!” Nazy exclaimed.
“What?” I replied. (Articulately.)
“A random woman asked to see my tram ticket.”
“I hope you told her to get lost.”
“She had a badge, Dan. Someone had deputized her.”
“In that case, my dear, she wasn’t a vigilante. She was an irregular member of the law enforcement community.”
“Irregular? She smelled.”
“Dealing with criminals rubbed off on her. Eh, did you have a ticket?”
“Of course I had a ticket. But that vigilante..”
“... deputy sheriff....”
“... gets a percentage of what she collects.”
“Isn’t it great? Capitalism and job creation combined in a way that fosters human initiative.”
“Just make sure that you don’t forget to buy a tram ticket, Dan.” As usual, Nazy had the last word.
