Vehicle
"My ageing Plymouth stood slowly leaking oil on the road..."
Weapon
"I took my .38 Special from its secret compartment under the dashboard and put it in my jacket pocket. I didn’t plan to shoot anyone but it was good for getting people’s attention when I was trying to make an important point that I didn’t want them to miss."
The Booze
"The label on the bottle declared it to be “15 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey” so I poured a large one. I took a sip and decided it had been the correct decision."
The Broads
"There she was, a vision of cut-price elegance and sophistication. She went in and out in all the right places. I found the in’s very stimulating to look at and the out’s even more so."
