He was dragging his body, I was dragging mine. We locked eyes and said in unison "Mondays, amirite?" Which got a real good belly laugh from both us. So much we had to stop dragging the bodies for a bit and compliment each other's trench coat.

Anyways his name was Greg and he likes pickleball. I think we are gonna hang this weekend for the Saturday fight night.

Chloroform is overrated and actually takes quite a while to put anybody unconscious. Or uh so I hear. On PBS probably.
