77. Two-toothed Bumpkins, the jailhouse lawyer, was looking for his 1966 edition of Lousy Anna Case Law, when he realized finally, after 6 hours of futile searching, that it must have been checked out. He looked at the card catalogue and saw that it was checked out by non other than Stinky. Off to the cell block he stormed in a terrible fit. What would that idiot do with the book except sit on it to polish his soap, he thought.

76. Lousy Anna Case Law, as it turned out, had nothing whatsoever to do with lice, as Stinky Johnson had mistakenly thought so he made a plan to steal a full length mirror frm the tailor shop, where he worked as a seamstress, so he could "search his body for the peasky critters that were causing him to contiually scratch. In the meantime he'd just sit on it and sculpt away on his bar of soap. He was about halfway through a beautiful rendition of his favourite huntin' hound, Festus.

75. Festus cherished the early morning hunt. This magnificent pointer interpreted the sporting event as chocolate, love, winning and chess.

74. As he slipped into sleep Festus, the Blood Hound, dreampt weird dreams. Dreams that were hard for him to understand as the lazy overweight hound that he was.

73. Festus, the ever loyal bloodhound, lapped the bowl of putrid water and gobbled the Purina Dog Chow. Then he expelled some gas and turned three circles on the dirt to settle in for a nap.
