I Think That I Shall Never See

So there I was, minding my own business, watching the hotel workers set up for a show in the hotel bar. This place had a 2 story ceiling with living trees growing through cutouts that went clear to the ground. It could all be fake, who know, and who cares? But I was watching one guy in particular who was miking the ...area so we could better here the performers. He had already tested the stage mikes, and now he was climbing up each tree and wrapping overhead mikes into the branches near the stage. I guess they wanted a fuller and better balanced sound, which is why they were using choir mikes up in the trees. It was a nice effect, because they were there and you couldn't even see them.

You see, I was watching this one guy in particular because not only was he the only one who climbed a ladder to get to the tree limbs, but he also seemed to have a real fat wallet in his back pocket. I decided I wanted to become better acquainted with whatever lived in here. So as soon as he came back to earth, I motioned him to a corner blocked off by the trees, as I didn't think this would need an audience. I made sure he wasn't in a hostile mood about my wanting to see his ID by taking the expedient measure of knifing him.

You know what was in the wallet? Flyers for the performance! Now that ticks me off so much.
