Editor Observation: Mordie Gets Walkie-Talkies
Mordie always wanted a set of his own real walkie talkies, ever since he was a child.
Last Tuesday, Mordie was delivering the stacks of bulk newspapers to the businesses in the downtown area, when he saw that the Radio Shack was having a 75% off sale of discontinued items. He paused to pick through the items in the bin, turnd over one oddly shaped package to discover a picture of a walkie talke on the front. He took it in and asked Rod if he would hold it until tomorrow for him. Mordie went back the next day and payed for his merchandise. Mordie went down the block, turned right on Cannery street and proceeded to gleefully tear open the package, discarding the remnants in a nearby garbage can. He clicked on the knob and listend to the sweet readiness of static in his ear. He grabbed the front of his paper cart with one hand and with the other he held the walkie talkie to his ear, listening for another voice.
In his exitement, Mordie made two important mistakes.
The first is that he neglected to examine the packaging further. Had he done so, he would have seen a second walkie talkie unit nestled in its styrofoam cradle beneath the instruction booklet.
The second mistake was that the receptacle he carelessly chose to discard the presumed trash in was the Missionary Barrel out back of the One Way Baptist Church.
