compound this morning.

Ross: I can't imagine those guys working any longer than they absolutely have to try to catch a dog.

Will: Maybe they're trying to beat their old record. They caught one dog last year.

Ross: Yeah, I remember. Last summer Hoss left a cheeseburger in the back of the van. An old scruffy mutt climbed into the back of the van to get it.

Will: Then Hoss came back looking for his cheeseburger,
saw the dog and locked the door.

Ross: That's what really happened but to hear those guys tell the story you'd think they caught a Siberian tiger. Still, I'm baffled. Those guys are usually clocked out and drinking their first beer at Dusty's Tavern by this time.

Will: Quick Ross, look out the window. Someone's trying to break into Hoss's car.

Ross: Who would want to steal that pile of junk?

Will: Two real weirdos that's who. One guy's dressed up like Elmer Fudd and the other guy looks like Yosemite Sam.

Ross: Holy cow! You're right. Quick grab a shovel from the tool shed and run those guys off the property.
