Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? How would you behave under the circumstances of a fake robbery–presuming that the “you” I’m talking about is a female “you” (or ewe: sorry, couldn’t help that and neither could ewe, if you were sitting here at my computer, short of sleep because you keep waking up in the middle of the night and thinking…The Twittler! and what the fuck are you going to do about the Horror–and sorry again because I’m way off the story at hand, which is this:)<\/p>\n
