Ordinary Slobs Episode Three
after the awards ceremony
sargeant Bailey was still holding court
he went on
did you hear the one about the
parrot and the owl? Well this bachelor
had a parrot, and when he
brought a woman home to his
apartment, the parrot just as he
was making his move on the lady
would say somebody's getting laid tonight
well the next morning the man went to
the pet store, and griped at the store owner
there's something wrong with this bird
and he went on to explain his dilemma
the pet owner said, your parrot needs
companionship, but he added I'm all
out of parrots, why don't you try this owl
and see how it works out. So that evening
the man brings home another young dame
and sure enough as when he puts his arm
around her, and leans foward for a kiss
the parrot says, somebody's getting laid tonight
and the owl says who, who, and the parrot replies
not you, you wide eyed SOB.....
after some laughter the Sarge continued
to talk about Rob and Anna
when Rob and Anna got married
everyone was certain that the brass
would break up the partnership
rules being rules or so it seemed
just the thought of it felt so wrong
I mean how do you argue with success
is it a sin to get along
especially when you're the best
but after the honeymoon
sure enough much to their dismay
each were assigned another partner,
but Rob and Anna were good soldiers,
so they
accepted their fate, as graciously as they could
but it's clear to the blindest of men, no good could come of it
for three long months they did as they should
till one day they did what any good team would
they went to the captain
good morning said Rob
when do you think
are new partners will be properly trained
and we can get back to being a team again
Captain Harris said you two know the rules
but I'm no fool, it's obvious you two are miserable
and though a good cop doesn't have to be happy
mark my word, I'll see what I can do
Anna said why not let us ride today
are we not a proven commodity
it's not like you'll be taking a chance
c'mom captain let us dance
at that time commissioner Henry walked in
and he said I've been standing in the doorway for ten minutes
and though every bone in my body is against it
deep down, I'm just another ordinary slob
so let it be known
you two are back on the job
