Columbo Wants To Know
Truth, only the truth!
Excuse me Mr.
Obama, I mean Senator Obama, sir. Um . . . know you are busy and
important and stuff. I mean running for president is very important and
. . . ah . . . I hate to bother you. I will only take a minute ok, sir?
See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was
wondering sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help
me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
Hey, you have a nice place here! The wife sees houses like this on TV
all the time and says boy she wishes she had digs like this you know? Is
that painting real? Really? Wow. I saw something like that in a museum
once!
Oh, sorry sir. I didn't mean to get off the track. So if you could just
help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of
your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney
Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island? No, I didn't think so. .
Well, listen, anyways, I can't seem to get some information I need to
wrap this up. These things seem to either be 'locked' or 'not
available'. I'm sure it's just some oversight or glitch or something, so
if you could you tell me where these things are . . . I . . . I . . .
have them written down here somewhere . . . oh wait. Sorry about the
smears. It was raining out. I'll just read it to you.
Could you help me please find these things, sir?

Oh hey . . listen! I know you are busy! Is this too much for you now? I
mean tell you what. I will come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get
these things together, you know? I mean, I know you are busy, so I will
just let myself out. I will be back tomorrow. And the day after. .
