an all nighter

an all nighter
by Lisa Noe


You are in a dead in alley beside a bunch of garbage containers, An officer pulls up to you shining a spotlight on you:


Hello Officer, How are you this day.

ha ha ha he he, Now I've seen it all.

Well, officer, I can explain.

I already have a good idea, as last evening was new years eve, it appears that you have tied on a good one last night.
surely you have been drinking?

uh yeah among other things, I think someone slipped something stronger in my drink.
because it's not every day I wake up in a strange ally hungover with no clothes on sir.

I bet where were you last you remembered sir?

uh, I just recall being in a bar with some friends.

did you sleep here in this ally all night?

To be honest with you officer, I can not tell you, as I don't know what happened.

Well, I am going to write you a citation for indecent exposure, due to the fact you are nude.
You'll have to take it up with the judge when you go to court.

Oh no will this be in the Newspaper?

Most definitely!

I don't have a way home and I'm nude can you help?

I'll be taking you to jail and unfortunately, the other inmates will be getting a huge kick out of this one.
maybe we'll find you an orange jumpsuit or some striped pants, but when the inmates find out what you are here for, I can assure you they'll pants you like you were a nerd in the schoolyard.

Oh please, just a citation don't bring me to jail!
