the secret lives of mall security

Sunday, sep. 24, 2006

Walking through the parking lot at the mall, we see two security guys frantically busying themselves with something mysterious on the ground — a crime scene? As we get a little closer, we spot two more mall cops, and they’re hovering over the first two guys, illuminating their work with flashlights. A security vehicle is parked behind them at an urgently hasty angle, its lights flashing. Really curious now, we crane for a better look. And there, on the cement floor of the parking garage, is a scattering of … paperclips.

What, we wonder, would they have done if it had been binder clips?
