McGoofey Reader Satire by Owen the Motorcycle Cop
A fragmentary piece portrays Owen, a motorcycle cop who exposes faulty car claims and hides behind a hedge to catch a paperhanger hurrying home to a sick wife with aspirin. The road is full of reckless drivers and booze hounds, with occasional mentions of rich motorists and a looming mystery about arresting the affluent. The punchline suggests sending the paperhanger for medicine by trolley or bicycle.
