The female police sergeant drove over the river bridge so fast I could smell the transmission burning. "Could you tell me again what happened sir!" she said looking through the rear-view mirror, her eyes obscured by her sun glasses. The other officer, her black hair up in a bun revealing her beautiful neck, wrote in her patrol book.
I told her I could but she would not believe me, and if I made her believe me then I'd be in still more trouble.
"Sir! We had to use a copter to get you off a roof from a throng of several hundred women, you'd best explain now!" said the officer in the other seat.
"Fine but I am going to have to leave one part out. You can lock me up later but the one thing that would really convince you I must leave out. You will see."
"It all started in my basement. I was cleaning up and found an old magazine had got its pages interlaced with a paperback. When I pulled them apart, it must have been dampness, but the pages stuck together slightly and ripped. I tossed the magazine in the trash. I looked at the paperback to see if I could scrape the pages apart and save it. But then I saw it, a line from the magazine article had been pasted halfway across a line from the magazine, in an odd way the words made sense; in a nonsense, poetic sort of way."
"Are you sure you didn't spike the water coolers. We will have them tested," said the sergeant.
"No, may I go on?" she nodded with that nod I had seen before in a thousand police shows.
"Anyway the phrase kept running through my head. At dinner I joked about it telling my wife. She had been working the food processor and could not hear it so I repeated it again and she turned to me. And right in the kitchen she got on her knees frantically opening my pants." I was going to stop but the officer told me to go on, all the time scribbling in her pad as I thought about whether my wife's brother could defend me in court, he was a real estate lawyer, but a darn good one.
"My wife stopped long enough to rip open her blouse and as the buttons rolled and plinked on the floor she undid her bra. Then she..."
The sergeant asked for my wife's name and told me to continue.
"She sucked me off like a madwoman. I thought she was joking. I finished in minutes and she dragged me into the bedroom; she was like an animal," I felt embarrassed but I hoped the officers would see what was going on. "Whatever this phrase was it had the oddest effect on the female brain."
"The next morning she was still sleeping and I got dressed for work. At the job my assistant, Pam saw I looked tired, and I was. I told her it was my wife playing a joke on me. I then told her the phrase. Pam looked at me for a moment then kissed me as she struggled to pull off both our clothes at the same time."
The sergeant tried to keep a neutral look on her face but I could see her disgust as she asked me if I had brought Pam anything to drink. I told her no and continued.
