“Yeah, officer, I’m the one who called. I just can’t seem to get an even cut on my hedge here. Can you look into it for me? Either someone’s been sharpening my shears crooked or they’ve tilted the ground that I’m standing on!”

Good old Chadron’s is back in action. Is Chadron actually a gated psychiatric community?

He must have wanted the Hedge Police and got the wrong number. That can happen when you forget to put your brain in.

Maybe it was someone elses failure to trim their hedges that prompted him to call the police because he couldn’t cheese on his neighbors with them so tall.
