The California doctor, an old crank on good days, saw his assistant use his stethoscope to strangle the red-headed night nurse while on duty late one night. The doctor needing alimony money sent a blackmail letter to the assistant the next day. Unfortunately, the letter was returned three days later for insufficient postage. Imagine his chagrin as he opened up the morning newspaper and saw where his assistant had been arrested. Umm, perhaps he could outsmart the cops as he revisited the killing scene in his mind..he reached for the phone to arrange a meeting with his wife. As he left his apartment, he put his stethoscope in his pocket.

Liked your use of the words! I never thought about offering it to the folks that come into 'my' library, I wonder if I could talk any of them into trying it?
