    Is that the Men in Black on his front porch, or the Blues Brothers plus one.

    Whatever, Chuck wants nothing to do with these guys, be they tax men or debt collectors. Chuck will change his business name and open new accounts, and hope to hit it rich before the s..t hits the fan again.

    I usually don’t go to quite those lengths when Jehovah’s Witnesses come to my door….

    Old pine, I do believe it’s the Men in Black. I knew this would happen. That mother ship has been hanging around a lot lately!

    I think he’s trying to escape, and Chuck it all….

    Even though it kind of looks like he’s still on the fence about it.

     

    Give some people an inch and they’ll take a yard…

    Chuck has a yard… but he’s running off with only two feet.

    I can’t see the neighbor having a hand in it, can you?

    Or any signs that he’s been beating around the bush.

     

    They say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence… but we can’t tell, in black and white.

    His lawn does look nicely trimmed… but if he’s leaving, he won’t be doing that any mower.

    Those guys on the porch… they’re probably the forces of lawn order.

    I always had faith in Chuck… but I think now I should be hedging my bet.

    It’s the FBI, scram! No one wants to face the inquisitors from the Future of Ballard Investors. Open your door and the whole afternoon is shot.

    On first glance, this version of ‘Worried Man Blues’ by The Kingston Trio came to mind.

    “Well Bob is in the livin’ room holdin’ hands with Sue

    Nicky’s at that big front door about to come on through

    Well I’m here in the closet, oh lord what shall I do

    We’re worried now but we won’t be worried long"

    Maybe Sue knows Victoria’s secret?

    Let’s see who bites on this one:

    “I’ve got to creep down the alleyway

    (Doom-doopa doompa doomp)

    Fly down the highway…"

    Chuck now wishes he hadn’t been so skeptical when Mrs. Higglepooder said she “knew” people…

    For those of us who aren’t as athletic, a shotgun works just fine.
