Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 30, 2021

Abner has always been an arsonist at heart.

I’m quite certain Abner is gonna be out of work soon.

… unless the document can rise like a phoenix from the ashes

… has said many a corporate exec in his day.

That’s a very tell tale matchbook.

And there is the fire suppression system going off in his office again. Third time today…

Albert looks quite pleased with that particular inability.

I’m thinking he’s actually the owner, not a lowly employee, of A. Brambleberry and Co., Tax Preparation and Tire Repair.

And that said document was recently subpoenaed in the ongoing court battle of “Ballard County vs Brambleberry et al.”

I am quite certain that file was destroyed in a fire!

He has the best win-loss record at Dewey Screwem & Howe. Ballard Street’s premier white collar criminal defense firm. He loses all the incriminating documents and wins all his cases.

“Subduce, yes. Reduce, certainly. Produce, nope…”

Oopsie

“What crackling sound? I don’t hear anything!.”

Certainly beats the shredder or the dog ate it excuse.

Much less hazardous; chew and swallow,(or so I’ve heard, some do it).

Was this Drumph, on his last day in office?

And I won’t be here tomorrow either.
