Jimmy Jeevers

Jimmy Jeevers jaywalked
on Jefferson on the last
day of January while wearing
his jaunty jester hat which
slipped over his jolly eyes
when a speeding Jeep jammed
him between two parked
cars, a Jaguar and Jetta
as curious onwatchers
waited for the ambulance
to arrive to take Jimmy to
St. Joseph Hospital where
his life was saved by the
judicious and caring staff.

Moral of this story is
not to wear a
jaunty jester hat
while jaywalking.
