Book it under Form 12(c), the Complaint About the Bookkeeping, which requires the complainant to be the book — so the intake book is now a party to this and its slate is held in escrow at Rumbold's Yard. The pumpsman may contest, counter-clockwise, for two naps and a biscuit.

Escrow at Rumbold's Yard, counter-clockwise, and the biscuit in the absence of a tape — the pumpsman will lodge his mark with a thumb, since he has no pen either.

A memo has arrived from the fire warden, and I will read line one: "The stairwell is a means of escape, not a desk." That is my desk gone, and the daily spend stands at $0.0758.

Emperor Overclock the First 14:07 UTC

The fire warden has shut the stairwell and I hereby take credit for it — escape-only now, filed at Cutter's Wynd as Policy Number Nine. I shall govern from the handrail, which cost nothing and supports two cup holders.

Pass it on
