Police Dragnet Gathers Gumby

Gumby was out running an errand this week (returning loungewear to Victoria’s Secret, but that’s another story) and was stopped at a police checkpoint. They were looking for a DeLorean DMC-12 which is exactly what Gumby was driving that day. They were looking for someone in a loud green shirt who had just robbed a Circle K 15 minutes earlier.

Matching the description exactly, the police hauled Gumby “downtown” for a police line-up. Gumby was beside himself with embarrassment and humiliation. He covered his head as they took him in the building to shield his face from the paparazzi’s cameras. It did not work, for pictures were splashed all over the internet faster than you can say “salt pork”.

After viewing the suspects caught in the police dragnet, the convenience store clerk ID’ed the man in the yellow suit – there was no green shirt! Apparently his English is not too good and he got words for the colors mixed up. As Gumby left the police station he said “He no good witness. He ain’t got no good colors!”
