samsara
March 16, 2005
Today, while the neighborhood of North Beacon Hill mobilized itself in a game of hide and seek with the suspected thief of laptops belonging to myself and others, a gentleman enjoying some wine (maybe a little too much) in the (highly recommended) Java Love Cafe suggested a plan of action: (PG0)
"I tell you what you should do", he told me, "You should get a gun and find the guy. When you find him stick the gun in his mouth, like this." (PG1)
I lean away while the man leans in towards me and my mouth, brandishing his cocked finger. (PG2)
"Tell him, take me to the guy you sold this stuff to. When you get to that guy, stick the gun in his mouth and tell him to take you to the guy he sold the stuff to and keep on going." (PG3)
From somewhere, I dredge up: "The problem with that is that if you do that you'll eventually be sticking the gun in your own mouth." (PG4)
The perp was not apprehended, but the cops "know who he is and have been watching him". (PG5)
