Title: Roach Released

"Seen Tod lately?  He's OUT ya know." Jake is drying mugs and commiserating
with me about life's irritants.  He's the perfect barkeep and a good friend.

I always wonder who's bike Roach will have THIS time, and respond,
"Time flies when Roach isn't around. Was he in for the full quinquennium or
did he con some poor trusting soul to let him out of prison?"

"One of the most peccable dudes I ever met, yet he finds a sucker no matter
WHERE is.  I'd HATE to be his probation officer!!  How's he do it, boss?"

"No doubt about it, he is the scion of a golden-tongued peccable cockroach.."

We both laugh and I hear Jake thinking, "...who's bike will he be riding THIS
time...?"

*pec.ca.ble \'pek-*-b*l\ aj [MF, fr. L peccare] : liable or prone to sin.
1857 H. MILLER, Test. Rocks iii. 154 "Fitting and preparing peccable,

Yup, New seat covered in dog hide.  Would make a nice
conversation piece.
