Last Call for Gumshoes

> The private eye went and sat in the pew behind her. At the end of the service, he followed her out, stopped her, and asked for help; he said he had Parkinson’s (he didn’t) and was having trouble licking the church’s donation envelope.

this is such a sad story. humanity used to be able to support such a diverse range of drives & ends. we increasingly have less & less viability in supporting diverse forms of human existence.
