I was just headin' for the boat deck when two of the boss's muscle guys walk by draggin' some jamoke between 'em. I stop them and sez, "What do we have here?"

Slugger, the bigger of the two with a busted nose that never got fixed right sez, "This here is the guy who was passin' the funny money. The cashier at Cage Two rang his alarm button and we get there just in time to grab this guy."

The paper hanger was an average lookin' Joe with a pair of them horn-rim glasses and a gray plaid fedora on top of his head. He is also looking kind of familiar, like maybe he is a regular customer.

While I am giving him the once over, the guy sez, "You guys got it all wrong. That was not my money . . . I mean I found that wallet on the floor and was just buying some chips as a reward for myself before I turned the wallet in. Honest, that is the truth."

They guy's story sounded goofy enough to be true. Besides that, he was shakin' like a leaf. Nobody that scared is gonna be makin' up stuff that made him look almost as bad as what we already caught him doin'. I sez, "Okay, pally, let's go down and see what the boss thinks about all this malarkey you are trying to feed us."

Tony listened to what the jamoke had to say and shook his head. "I ought to have the boys feed you to the sharks, that is what I ought to do."

Now the guy is not just shaking, he is also white as a ghost. He sez, "But no harm was done. All the money is still in the wallet. Couldn't you just let it slide this time? I promise I'll never do anything like this again. I knew it was wrong, but all that money . . . it just made me crazy."

Tony looked at me and raised one of his eyebrows like he was askin' if I thought the guy was on the level. I shrugged my shoulders, meaning I did not know if he was or was not.

The boss nodded and turned back to the jamoke. "All right, pally, I am going to let you off the hook this time, but do not ever show your ugly mug on the Rex again or you are going to be fish food. You got that, pally?"

The guy nodded so hard I thought his head was gonna fall off, and the boss, he sez to the muscle guys, "Okay, take this jamoke out of here and put him on a water taxi. And if you ever see him on the Rex again, do not ask no questions, just feed him to the sharks."

I guess it comes down to what kind of paper you're hanging and where you're hanging it. Thanks for the vote, John
