"Chad! I just found a post on Craigslist for free basil. The ad says they're trying to clear room to plant other stuff."
"We already have basil."
"Yeah, I know. But not enough to make big batches of pesto."
"Huh. Well, why don't you pick it up on the way to your doctor's appointment today."
And that's when the paranoia sets in. "You don't think they're trolling Craigslist looking for their next victim, do you?"
"Uh..."
"I mean, they misspelled 'salad'. Who misspells salad?"
"You'd be surprised."
"But they could be serial killers."
"Umm..."
"I mean, what if I show up there to pick up my free basil and they end up kidnapping me and I never see you guys again."
"Well..."
"This is how people get in trouble."
"Look. If it really worries you, then don't go."
"But I want the basil!"
"Then I guess you're going to have to risk kidnapping."
"Don't laugh at me! I bet that's exactly what boyfriend of that girl who was killed by the Craigslist killer did."
So, I'm going to go, but if you guys don't hear from me in a few days, you know that Steve and Floyd are serial killers. If that's really their names....
What I do for pesto!
