She arrived at the crime scene like a Nicoderm patch on a smoking gun

If you see this chick come by your office, you know she's going to bring trouble and crime and late nights and having to sit in smoky bars to pick up clues to find the real murderer of her husband!

1:15pm Peter Gunn:

Until you find out that Doris did it herself and is now drinking her way to oblivion.

Colonel Mustard did it with a pipe.

His voice echoed like the reverb from an icepick in a Danelectro amp.

The Killer can do no wrong!

It's the stuff that 1940s wet dreams are made of.

Much as I digg Igg, Killer whupped Mr. Pop's ass there.

1:25pm Hostess:

Speaking of hard-boiled, would you care for another deviled egg?
