- I work for the Narcotics Task Force. - I am surrounded by dedicated narcotics agents. - They have suspicious minds. - The weather turned arctic. - I decided to wear my enormous fake fur coat. - I found my enormous fake fur coat lying on the floor in the back of a closet. - I put on my enormous fake fur coat and rushed to catch the bus. - I noticed, once on the warm bus, that I smelled ferrets. - I was awash in the smell of ferrets. - No one sat by me. - The fact that my ferrets had been playing and sleeping in my coat all year had eluded me. - I had only wanted to get to work on time. - I had only wanted to be warm. - I put my coat on a corner chair in the office, so it wouldn't contaminate anyone else's coat. - A very dedicated drug-sniffing dog, named Alphonso, came to visit. - Alphonso fell in love with my coat. - Alphonso did not want to ever be separated from my coat. - Alphonso had to be dragged, whining, out of the office. - I received many strange looks. - I had a lot of explaining to do. - I rushed out at noontime, in a blizzard, to buy a bottle of Chanel No. 5. - I sprayed my coat. - Now it smells like Chanel No. Ferret. - And maybe I'll have to have a urine test after Christmas. - Thank you, ferrets. Merry Christmas to you, too. [Posted in FML issue 2907]
