Where Was Robbo?

Numerous (really!) readers have emailed in this item:

Montgomery County, MD) -- A wayward llama was the focus of a police search in Montgomery County last night. Officers spotted the animal walking near Darnestown Road and Haddonfield Lane in the Darnestown area. A camera crew from WJLA-TV managed to roll some videotape as the speedy Llama darted back and forth across streets and lawns. Drivers in Darnestown are urged to be extra careful today with the Llama remaining at large. So far, no one has come forward to say they're the Llama owner.

I swear I had absolutely nothing to do with this! Why, why....I was sitting at home the whole evening! Yeah, that's the ticket! Sipping Scotch while designing rabbit IED's for my garden and reading up on the influence of Assyrian epic poets on the writings of P.G. Wodehouse. Or something.

BTW, I don't know why police are urging Montgomery County drivers to be extra careful. That would imply that they maintain some level of care to begin with, which we know is not the case.

UPDATE!!! MUST CREDIT...ahh, that joke's old, isn't it?

Anyway, it was believed three llamas originally escaped and two were definitely recovered almost immediately. The third was recovered at about noon; however, the llama owner claims they've discovered a fourth missing, so there's still one llama on the loose.

Montgomery county drivers might have a chance at missing a fully grown llama, as they regularly practice misssing quadrupeds on the highways and byways of their lovely (and my formerly lovely) county. I speak here of the delightful whitetail, Bambi, King of the highway shoulder, who frequently becomes a copilot to drivers in Montgomery county by leaping in front of vehicles at the last second as they pass by.... Only to find that they are not leaping over, they are leaping into, the car racing by them.... Stupid deer.
