Today Mike and myself (Adam- the aerodynamically correct one) went Christmas shopping for the ladies of our lives. I shopped for my girlfriend, and Mike shopped for his 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar (somebody’s getting new thumbtacks this year!).
Now, Picard Maneuver enjoys the Christmas season as much as your next musical comedy duo hailing from Burbank CA that dress like Alex P. Keyton; but shopping together isn’t easy. When we go out in public together, people see us and will stop us and say things like: “Don’t we know you?” “Aren’t you Cagney and Lacy?” and “Please stop making obscure 80’s references or will have you escorted out of the store”.
After shopping for a while we finally found the perfect gifts with that personal touch that ladies love: Gift Certificates.
We went to the front of the store to make our purchases when Mike’s credit card was rejected. I panicked, in fear that we had gone over our fabersha egg budget in November! But too my relief it turned out that a man in Tucson Arizona had stolen Mike’s identity.
Now, being the crime fighting types that we are, we couldn’t let this injustice stand. Mike swore too “Seek revenge on the villain who killed my parents!” I told him his parents aren’t dead, they just live in Kansas. “Same thing”, he said. Then I told him to put the toilet paper roll down; it’s not really a light saber.
Later that afternoon Mike and I returned to the Picard Cave, and loaded up the Commodore 64 super computer. We logged into goggle satellite maps and to our luck we found the “perp” wandering the streets of Arizona.
Unfortunately he already bought that suit.
Next time he should probably try to steal money from guys with jobs.
