Well, my deputy had been in the job
a month into it
and the deputy called me on the phone
from the woods nearby, on routine duty:
*"Hello sheriff – there’s a body here,
I just noticed, below a tree…he appears dead
What do I do?"*
"Well," I answered, with authority
*"Before we take things any further,
first, let’s ensure he’s dead -"*
And my deputy said:
"Hang on..."
And then my deputy was back on the phone:
*"OK, I just put 3 bullets in him
I’m dead sure he’s dead
What do I do next?"*
