Phyllis

Phyllis couldn't stand knowing the little yellow leaves were falling onto her newly paved driveway so she got up and went out to the garage and started up the gasoline powered leaf blower and got to work. She was nearly done when Sheriff Otto showed up. "Dressed for a party I see," Sheriff Otto called out. She jumped.

"I couldn't sleep knowing leaves were littering my new driveway." She was wearing a flowered flannel nightie and her husband's NRA camo hunting jacket and panda slippers.

"It would be fine if you were using a push broom but this piece of equipment is so loud the whole east end of town has woken up and they're all calling me! So please, Mrs Rose, put that damn thing away. It's three AM!"
