Missing Paper

My newspaper didn’t make it this morning so I reported the missing paper. They said paperboy put me on vacation hold because my papers were stacking up. I said that’s not me but my neighbor. She said, oh whoops.

They said they’d have the Missed Paper Dude bring one.

In a few, I get a call from a dispatcher saying missed paper dude can’t get in security gate to the complex. Across the parking lot I can see him at the gate. I give code & she relays it & he still can’t get in. I said if he called me on the callbox I could buzz him in. She said he can’t. I watch him toss the paper over the gate & drive off.

After he drove away, the gate opened.
