Fernbrook Resort Freelton: Sheriff Lumpy Speaks Out on CoViD-19 Toilet Paper Shortages




Fernbrook Resort Freelton: Sheriff Lumpy Speaks Out on CoViD-19 Toilet Paper Shortages


Fernbrook Resort Freelton’s Sheriff, who was recently named as Freelton’s leading tomfool, Lumpy Rutherford, recently addressed the Resort giving his personal take on the CoViD-19 virus.

“People, people, let’s all settle now,” Sheriff Rutherford asked as he clapped his hands girlishly, “can we settle now… PullLeeeeze!”

As the crowd settled Sheriff Lumpy began his oration.

“As most of you know I was a professional fake police officer for over eighteen years before moving here to Fernbrook where my extensive background in harassment, tomfoolery and chicanery made me the logical choice to become this Resort’s finest fake sheriff. And with credentials such as these who better than I to speak out about the coronavirus?” the Sheriff asked the crowd rhetorically.

“How about someone with a medical background?” a voice in the crowd shouted.

A shout that was followed closely by someone who loudly asked, “Or perhaps a cat – “

“Yeah,” someone else shouted out, “But a striped cat. Not one of those stupid solid black ones with white feet that everyone always calls ‘Mittens’”

“Man I hate that,” another voice exclaimed.

“Yeah, I want to hear from a cat too,” said someone else, “They’re smarter than we think.”

“WELL you won’t think that when you hear what I have to say,” interrupted Sheriff Rutherford. “And what I have to say is that the coronavirus is a hoax. It’s a fake!”

“What?”

“Huh?”

Evil Leader of the Toilet Paper Monopoly?
“It’s true. I figured it all out by myself,” Sheriff Rutherford boasted proudly. “I double secretly investigated and the whole thing is a hoax started by the Secret Toilet Paper Concerns that have for so long controlled our bum wiping needs. First with two ply paper. Then three ply. Next it was quilted designs for maximum comfort. And now this. A fake illness. The Toilet Paper Conglomerate has created a fake disease in order to get us to buy more toilet paper. More toilet paper than we could ever hope to need. Or use. Even if we were to eat spicy Thai food. Three times a day. For weeks on end.” 

“I don’t understand,” someone asked loudly.

“You will though,” answered Lumpy, “THE only way to free ourselves of those people who would secretly run our lives through toilet paper is to break free of the Toilet Paper Conglomerate… WE must all cut back on our toilet paper purchases. Buy only what you absolutely need. And no more. Or, better yet, refuse to buy toilet paper. I don’t!” the Sheriff exclaimed proudly. “And I haven’t for years!”

“You don’t use toilet paper?”

“Nope. Not for years. I use grass and leaves and when times are really tough a good stick will really do the trick. For extra freshness I recommend pine.”

Use when you want to feel EXTRA FRESH?
“You know you shouldn’t be putting leaves and sticks and… and… well, in the toilet. We’re on a septic system here at Fernbrook Resort.”

“Well of course I know that you little silly billy,” Sheriff Rutherford replied leeringly followed by a quick wink, “So I use my neighbor’s lawn. Usually in the early AM hours. If you think someone might be watching you just bark and run away. That’s what I do. But HEY… don’t use my lawn. If you IM me I will give you my personal recommendation on whose lawns you should be evacuating your bowels on.”
"Don't forget to buy my book!" said Sheriff Rutherford

“Dude, that’s gross.”

“You are one sick fu– “

“Is it too late to hear from a cat? Any cat. Even one called Mittens.”

“Mittens,” the crowd called out in unison, “Here Mittens, Miiitttteennnsss”

Fernbrook Resort Freelton’s Sheriff Lumpy Rutherford takes on the Cornavirus COVID-19



Fernbrook Resort Freelton’s Sheriff Lumpy Rutherford takes on the Cornavirus CoViD-19


Today Fernbrook Resort Freelton’s newly elected Sherriff Lumpy Rutherford announced that if the coronavirus dared enter his park, his plans to arrest the disease.

Intrigued we inquired how he planned to arrest the disease’s progress if indeed it did dare to poke its head into Fernbrook Resort.

“With my brand new handcuffs,” replied the Sheriff proudly as he displayed the plastic handcuffs he recently purchased from the Dollar Store.
Sheriff Rutherford's new cuffs

“Wait a second… you’re going to what?”

“WITH… MY… BRAND… NEW… HANDCUFFS,” enunciated Lumpy very slowly and a bit louder. “If Mr. Corona Virus ever shows up in Fernbrook Resort I will slap these handcuffs on him so fast that they may cause a big bruise. Or even moderate chafing to the wrist. But only if the cuffs are worn for an extended period of time. At least that’s what the instructions say.”
The Dangerous Mr Corona Virus?

“You’re going to actually physically arrest a disease? A virus? Using plastic handcuffs?”

“That’s right,” intoned Sheriff Rutherford. “And I’ve phoned other countries and told them that they should do the same thing. Most of the countries told me never to phone them again. Some even changed their number to an unlisted one. Except the United States. The owner of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump, said he admired my acumen and offered to make me Director of Arresting Diseases and also Secretary in Charge of Floor Sweeping.”

“So you’re leaving? After you’ve just been elected?”

"It's AQUA-man, AQUA!"
“Oh, no, no, no, no, no… when Mr. Trump said acumen I got confused. I didn’t know if he meant the DC comic character that solved underwater fish related crimes… or that Asian car. The one made in Asia. By those Asian people. From Asianland. So I hung up the phone.”
"It's Acura, ACURA!" said the Nisan
“That’s a shame. Because we would sure have missed you. I have an idea… why don’t you call back and take the job and see if we actually miss you. Please! PRETTY PLEASE!!”

“I can’t that do that!” replied Sheriff Lumpy, “Because I already have another crime to solve.” And here he looked both ways and before whispering proudly, “When I went to the Dollar Store I noticed that some things cost more than one dollar. Some things cost two dollars and some things were even three whole dollars,” he said holding up four fingers when indicating the number three, “So they have to have completely different stores for each price. Otherwise its false advertising.”

“You mean like a Two Dollar Store? And a Three Dollar Store?”

“Exactly. So I have to arrest the entire store.”

“You’re going to arrest a building?”

“Durn tootin’ As soon as I can get handcuffs that are big enough. And after that I’m going to arrest Dr. Pepper. Not a real doctor,” Lumpy nodded softly as he tapped his nose with one finger. “And after that Colonel Sanders, then Mr. Lube, and…”

"I ain't no tom fool," said Lumpy, OR AM I?"

Looks to be a tomfool year in Fernbrook Resort Freelton.
