Santa Barbara's Finest

In town for the world-famous Santa Barbara Daisy Show, I managed to get myself pickpocketed. And one just cannot be without funds when there are so many delightful daisy cookbooks to be purchased as stocking stuffers. So on Thursday, I made my way to the Santa Barbara police station. I guess the criminal element must have found the Daisy Show to be quite the stalking grounds, because the line to get into the station stretched for many blocks.

Just as I pulled my SUV around to a back entrance and started to exit my vehicle, I was crushed to the pavement by hundreds of entertainment reporters who seemed to have mistaken me for someone named Michael. I tried to explain that I had no idea what child they were talking about, and that I was there to report something being lifted out of my pants, but that apparently only piqued their interest. I nearly suffocated from the numerous microphones thrust into my face, and I tried again to explain that somebody put his hands down my pants and I wanted the rapscallion brought down in front of me. Soon I found myself in a holding cell, where a lawyer mentioned something about multiple charges and repeat offender, and not a word to me about how I was to get my pocket-stuffer back.

Though the police seemed quite disappointed with my appearance when I finally made my way inside, they soon enough took my report and escorted me hurriedly back outside, where once again I was trampled upon by a furious storm of reporters.

There must have been enormous interest in the Daisy Show, as I awoke in the hospital later that night just in time to see myself over and over on the evening news. How delightful!
