Hey boss, you wanted me to get us 100 twelve foot trailers. I got us a great deal! 100 fourteen foot trailers for the same price. Yeah, logo and everything. They only have one little defect: They're MARKED as twelve feet, so that's almost the same thing, right?

Yeah, the driver just called. The first one was just delivered. It's parked down at the entrance to the access road to the plant, under the railroad bridge.

Yes, I know the railroad bridge is thirteen feet high. Why do you ask?

Charlie was rudely awakened from his roost among the pigeons under the bridge. His mood improved however, when he discovered the trailer was filled with crates of his favorite wine-Zeller Schwarz Katz.
