    If they’d remember to shut the windows and close the drapes…

    Sorry, the computer’s down and we can’t play cat and mouse online.

    That’ll teach you not to go out vending at night alone.

    Don’t worry, Cleo, it’s only those damn*d claw machines. They never can grab anything anyway.

    Herbert, whack that cop with whatever that floppy weapon is that you are holding. Zelmyra will be so impressed as the cop calls for backup, (even though you may get shot in the back yard).

    Cleo, you can’t believe everything Clara reads! Just watch out for those machines where you try to grapple a dog toy into the chute – you might get overly excited and wind up inside.

    Oh no, the vending machine already ate a cat! Look out, Cleo!

    Howdy, Cleo fans and friends….

    Here we are on another Sunday night or Monday morning…. or Monday afternoon… or… oh well, whenever you get here….

    (It is, isn’t it, NH?)

     

    March forth, and read it on Sherpa!

    Vending machines?

    I’d want to say “Impossible!” except for the fact that I know THREE people who were injured … not killed… by vending machines…. actually, now that I think about it…. each only had one arm hurt.

    and I don’t recall anyone being bitten by a sha…. oops… yeah, I do…. one… nibbled, not killed.

     

    Person 1…. waaaay back in high school…. took a mighty swat at a milk machine…. it fell, knocked him over, and broke his arm.

    BTW in Wisconsin, we had subsidised milk, at lunch and in hallway machines…. little half pint cartons for… are you ready? TWO CENTS.

    Yes, it was 1803. Thanks for asking.

     

    Person 2 reached up into a candy machine and got his arm stuck…. the janitor got him out but his arm was cut.

    And .. gee…. why are they all guys?? I wasn’t going to count #3 but I suppose I should…

    He was trying to repair an unplugged vending machine and touched something… a capacitor? … and got blown back by an electric shock… and discovered a burn on his arm or hand… can’t remember.

     

    It would be even worse to be, as Cleo is picturing, swimming near one…. if it were plugged in.

    So yeah.. in the water, vending machines are probably 100 times as dangerous as sharks. Cos sharks can’t zap 100 people at once!

     

    As for the cat and mouse games… if they keep it in the house, it’s nobody’s business but their own.

    If they knock over my garbage can, bite me, or dig up my garden, I’m calling the Sheriff!

    Even if I am the Sheriff!

    They’re just sore because they weren’t invited.

    I bet Claude would have loved to be swimming with her, considering that she isn’t wearing a bathing suit.

    Check out the speed of that vending machine! It’s really moving!

    And Clara! Look how nice and dressed up she is! Maybe Claude is taking her out to dinner and a movie. I hear there’s a good one about sharks down at the multi-plex.

    As long as you aren’t a bikini clad teenager swimming at night, you should be fine.

    What is the real killer? Falling vending machines or the high calorie, fat laden treats that fall from vending machines?
