A Conversation I Imagine Two Burglars Would Have as They Walk by My House

Imagined Conversations Part 2

#1 Do you like to be called a burglar or a crook?

#2 I prefer crook because it makes sense. I am crooked. The word burglar just makes me think of the guy who stole hamburgers on the old McDonalds commercials. Stupid.

#1 I'd be a cat burglar.

#2 Yea, that would be cool.

#1 Hey, look at this house.

#2 Nice. The window frames are shabby, but it still looks elegant somehow.

#1 Agreed. And even though the roof is in bad shape and the lawn is dying it seems like the house of someone I could respect.

#2 It looks like the house of the kind of man who, although of modest means, still enjoys a few quality possessions.

#1 I would guess that he has a nice collection of half-dollars from the years 1966 through 1970 when they were 40% silver.

#2 Yes, shall we rob this house then?

#1 Yes, let's rob it right now.

#2 Wait. There is a light on in the living room.

#1 Even though it is quiet and there are no cars out front, that light might mean that someone is home.

#2 We can not take a chance.

#1 Let's rob the neighbor's house.

#2 Yes.
