“Don’t worry about the story’s goofiness. A sensible one would have had us all in the cooler.” SS

Jo had this unrelenting habit when a mean rumor would cross his path, usually one laden with exotic secrets, of deciding to seek the truth. On the chance that a haven of validity was hidden in the “lie”, he was a fool of a detective. To top it off, much to his wife’s concern, he housed his bony frame inside a thirties style suit and adorned a matching hat, making him feel like Sam Spade on a mission. Dashiell Hammett would be proud.
