Pillow Poker

Knock three times on your forehead asking after each knock “Is this a good idea” before proceeding with any lame brained idea that may land you behind bars rather than in a bar.
Personally when people lose their dam minds and embark on a crime with little or no chance of success- an optional/luxury crime-like the rest of us I like it because it restores my faith in myself as not being the craziest and worse decision maker on the planet.
An Asian American Delaware State trooper looking like Jackie Chen with high SAT scores” set up” a late night robbery of a high stakes poker game at a local country club only marginally exclusive with annual dues of $2500 hardly enough to sift the sands that filter elitism.
So the game gets robbed at gunpoint by masked men like a bad Sopranos episode who take cash, wallets and car keys only after putting red pillowcases on everyone’s head. Rich people ain’t about red pillowcases and consider this uncalled for “trailer park degradation” right out of the Midge Tartaglione Interior Decorating Mediterranean Motif Catalog.
The robbers leave then so does ‘Hong Kong Phooey” telling his mates it is not a good idea for him to be there when the troopers arrive.
The honest troopers are of course perplexed to learn one of their own was a victim who went home before they got there. One thing led to another but the biggest question was “red pillowcases?” only sold at Wallmart where surveillance tape catches Trooper Kim purchasing ten red pillow cases “how many dam pillows you got yo” before getting in his Japanese car with smoked up tinted windows.
A search warrant of the house produced the receipt for pillow cases-a tax deduction?- and keys to cars belonging to his friends-because you know if some armed masked guys in hoods took your key you could never rest easy thinking some night they were coming back to get your car in the dead of night which is why you have a very territorial and temperamental pit bull sleeping in a back seat he takes bites from when having bad dreams.
There is no behavior without motivation which assumes a thought process but if Trooper ‘Who You Calling Little Kim” had employed the knock three times on the forehead rule he may have passed the first stop sign but never all three.
The same rule applies when someone with a gun – at a country club card game-tells you to put on a red pillow case and to lie on the floor. I know that ain’t a good idea so I’m telling a player across the table, “if I was you I wouldn’t do it.” It’s poker night and all about reading faces and bluffing. I ain’t quivering inside some cheap-ass pillow case for no man!
I’d love the job of “debriefing the desperate” How much fun would that be?”

How embarassing. Plead guilty to lessen the shame and reduce the number of slings and bows that are already poised to rain down insults on your head. Fredman fired the first salvo. Growing up in SW Phila one of the neighborhood kids robbed the bank at 65th and Woodland, right across the street from the precinct house, but not to worry, he made his escape on roller skates to his house less than a block away. Since he was well known to everyone in the bank it was the fastest apprehension in SW history. He did have one excuse, he was not working with all fifty two cards. What's the troopers excuse?
