NEXT TO THE FRONT DOOR,
a seven-foot-tall fiberglass effigy of Lemmy the Lemur has been installed. It's Spencer's own ratcheted-up version, brought to three-dimensional reality. Riveted to its base, a brass plaque dedicates this monument to Spencer. There's an engraved citation from LEMCO National Headquarters in Des Moines, formally thanking him for creating Lemmy's "new, more appetizing look."
THE FAT COP
stands sentry, along with the skinny cop, whose head is bandaged. Neither of them can stop staring at the big Lemmy.
"MARX
said that a commodity appears, at first sight, to be a very trivial thing. But analysis shows that it is, in reality, a very queer thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties."
"You can say that again," says the fat cop, appalled.
