THE WEEKLY FUND RAISER: Sergeant Brad hired Tony Powers to assist in collecting fines from Ambucs who did not call Tony in the last week. If you would like to call Tony in order to avoid paying another fine in the future, heres his number 620-200-8751. Deservingly Dennis Reiser was bestowed with an attaboy for his work to coordinate helpers to move Doc and Aavon to their new apartment. Jay Pitzer was fined for not knowing the difference between a blond and a brunette, hows that possible? Then somebody threw a tony in Tonys toliet, try not to ponder those words, and somebody paid for the misdeed.
TUIT REPORT: After three weeks President and Tuit Guard Dane Power pinpointed Doug, Jay, Fred, and maybe Darren for Tuit negligence. Then with a crocodile tear in his eye he gave the Tuit to lucky victim Fred Conner.
