      Maybe I could have become a drug-lord! On second thoughts…!

        Yeah! A missed opportunity.

      No officer, it’s a case of mistaken identity, honest!

    Even the scoundrels are polite. “Oh, sorry mate, he said, sauntering away.” Wonderfully entertaining read, Keith. 🙂

    Ha ha ha!! Love this little tale, Keith! Or should I say ‘Bruiser’! Clearly there’s a naughty version of you wandering around! Even though that’s already impossible 🙂
