I’ve Had Enough
How long could you stay in a closet?
“Okay, Alice enough is enough. You asked me to do you a favor and hide in this closet until this Wonderland thing blew over. Well, it’s been five years, and I want out. I wasn’t a skeleton when you locked me in, but I am now. You must know that we skeletons never stay hidden forever.
“Let’s make a deal. You let me out and I won’t tell the queen where you disappeared to. She probably doesn’t even remember who you are.”
“I hear voices. Who’s speaking in there?”
“Sorry Alice, you’re screwed. In here my Queen!”

Governments Best Friends
We've all seen them, perched on high wires or rooftops, staring at the world below. Crows congregate in small groups, and when one departs the murder, another quickly takes its place. Have you ever asked yourself what they are looking for and who they are reporting their observations to?

Hilarious, Mark! Taking the skeleton in the closet metaphor literally is pure genius!
