Not always what they seem

Dear Mrs. Higgins,

Remember my new coffee friend Jose? Well there is a problem.

Turns out, those weren’t coffee plants. I should have guessed something due to all the giggling I’ve been hearing. But, as you know, I don’t speak Spanish, so how could I tell.

Also, 5 empty boxes of Girl Scout cookies should have caught my attention.
(well ok, I was kind of in on the shortbreads, but 4 of those I had nothing to do with)

Also turns out Jose, isn’t Jose. He’s Ernie. And, instead of being from some place really cool like Brazil or Costa Rica, he’s from Valparaiso Indiana.

So instead of worrying about immigration, now I’ve got the DEA all over the joint. (sorry, bad choice of words) Really hope they don’t confiscate my new coffee maker.

Sounds like Valpo Ernie may be going in for awhile. Just when you think you know a guy.

Mike


Dear Mike,

Sorry about your new friend’s departure.

How many boxes of Girl Scout cookies do you have around there?

Next time, why don’t you make a donation to the Girl Scouts and go buy an apple?

Mrs. Higgins
