The Matter of Looking to the Apple Peeler
March 5th, 2009 by stu pendous | Comments Off | Filed in UncategorizedMy name is Clarence, I’m a bean counter, and for all intensive purposes, my life is conclusively boring. If it wasn’t for the temporary fraud case that comes by the office, I would really have nothing of consequence to talk about. But all that was about to change.
You comprehend what an apple peeler is don’t you? In case you don’t, they are a rather ingenious invention. You take your piece of fruit, set it inside this small core spike, tighten the other end down on it by spinning the handle, until the peeling comes all the way off, which leaves a wildly neat looking spiral. The kitchen apple peeler can be a awesome appliance and an even stranger weapon.
I know, your probably asking yourself, what the heck is he chatting about. Well, it all initiated last Sunday with my neighbor, Mrs. Gerry. She had a reputation for flooding the air with the amazing fragrance of pies, almost all year long.
So, here we were taking in the fresh smell of pie and peculiarly, no Mrs. Gerry anywhere. It turns out someone had broke into her house and kidnapped her. The only thing they could see that worried them, was an antique apple peeler, that had some stains on it and a freshly baked pie poured out on the kitchen floor
What a terrible thing, the pie lost and poor Mrs. Gerry nowhere to be discovered. We hadn’t heard a thing, on the time in question, and the police appeared like they were at a loss, at least for now. It turns out, that a few of the neighbors and myself fancied ourselves as detectives, and the forgone week had been a proverbial who done it.
