-Stop there! I get the gist.
-They find the arm in the freezer. Wrapped up like a roast.

-(also singing) When you are far away from me-yee.
-Some little something saying love will not die.

Common Procedures
-Mikey over at Laurette’s
Lunch says TV crews eat ravenously.
-From guilt. Taking a tragic
situation and milking it.
-Yeah, if it bleeds it leads.
Anyway, some guy shot at his wife and Romeo of Moment in that neighborhood.
Missed in his rage, but chased naked duo down the mean streets.
-Stray bullet offed a
cockroach--Second Amendment Casualty.
-Anyway, six days ago! So keep

thus wizened, dick. All of it later pixelated to keep us pure!
-The same moral page
imperative!
-Ah Show Business, like, totally
so fuckin-wonderful!
-I, for one, have never,
ever, lost the romance of it!
-Cue The Sound of Music with your iPad!
-How is THAT relevant?
-Like nothing is.
