Busy Overnight. One of 'em smells pretty stinky, too.

Hmmmm..... it's not greenhart's, not Reck's, not Kenny's, not Meemur's, and not RLM's. Gee, I wonder which bid smells like a set of diapers in need of changing?

Just so ya know, there's no such thing as a bid pound and no such thing as a bid control officer. Someone tried to fool me with a cheap disguise. They told me that down town. I had to walk back, though. The car I drove got impounded.

No, it wasn't my car.
