My mask, Tonto, he wanted my mask!
| Apparently in W. Virginia it is illegal to wear masks except for very specific reasons. Conversation between the Lone Ranger and W. Virginia State Policeman along a dark country road: SP: Sir, you’ll have to remove your mask. LR: Oh, no, you need to understand that this protects my identity! SP: Precisely sir, that’s why you need to *remove* the mask LR: But I work for the good of humankind! I right wrongs! I rescue the weak! SP: OK, sir, Now step over to the side of the road and remove the mask! LR: I wear a white hat! I help catch the bad guys! SP: That’s my job, sir, you just leave it to me. Now REMOVE the mask! (scuffling sounds, stage right) SP: OK, now get this, just take the ma - - ow! That’s it! (wet hissing sound) LR: Ow! Stop what is that stuff! Burns my eyes! Silver! (hoofbeats sliding to a stop) SP: Hey! That thing bit me! What the heck, hey, get away, OW! SP: (leaning into car for radio) Yeah, backup and animal control! Yes a horse! No its not funny and I am NOT joking! Ow ! Ow! Dang! SP: Stop! I’m telling you to stop! LR: OK, Silver, now! (boot steps) Hi Ho Silver! And awaaaayyyyy (hoofbeats receding into distance, stage left) (thank you Jess and Pear for the inspiration...) Cross-posted to Grand Centrist Station |
