Not Just Any Old Tom, Dick or Harry

From: dick_055 (dick_055@yahoo.com) | Date: 2004-06-11 02:56:14 UTC
I've done a bit of map surfing and now here I am halfway across the
country. I was held captive for quite a while at the Governor's
lofty estate and while the view was great I was really itching to
move on, I'm just not the kind to stay in one place for too long.
One day some people came and I thought sure they would set me free,
but they visited with the Governor and then left without me. Maybe
the #55 stamped on my coat made them think I was a criminal or
something. Luckily some other folks came by only a few days later
and were more than happy to give me a lift -- finally I was on my
way!

Just recently I spent some time at Marblehead -- what a lovely place
there. And now I'm hitching my way to Chicago, the home of legends
like Al Capone and Bugs Moran. Well, okay I'm not actually going to
Chicago, but near there to some sort of meeting where I understand
there will be other guys like me -- who knows, maybe I'll run into
my old buddies Tom and Harry... I hear it is supposed to be sunny --
I'm going to need a hat.

Be careful you just might be traded for a yummy dessert.
