At work yesterday, I was trying to figure out why I was unquenchably thirsty. After giving it some thought, I concluded it was because my nose was stuffed up and so I had been breathing through my mouth all morning. When I told one of my co-workers that, she said “You should be a detective.” The more I thought about it, the more I realized she is completely right. I should be a detective.

As I was driving home from work, I came up with the perfect name for my private investigative services: Mr. Z’s Mysteries!

As the obvious first step to promoting any legitimate business, I made a Craig’s List ad. Here it is: Craig’slist.com.

I forgot to add that I am also naturally very curious and I like to ask a lot of questions. These are also very important traits in my new line of work.

Shoot! I just remembered that I also own the entire collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, AND I watched the new Sherlock mini-series on PBS a couple months ago. I should have put that in my ad.

I thank you in advance for your business.
