      WAS THAT BOGART

      Joel Brown was a little tired, driving home one dark night. Thinking to himself, what a day at the office, where he worked as an insurance agent. An elderly lady had come in asking if she could ensure her one eye cat.

      She went on to say, the cat would only eat oyster and was mad on kit-kat, chocolate fingers. The big tomcat weighed twenty five kilos she'd said and all he did was watch TV all day long, just like her late husband and so she thought it a good idea to insure him, in case he popped his clogs.

      Joel laughed out loud and thought, why not? He wished it would happen more often. It had started to rain steadily, visibility wasn't good. Joel liked to travel the country lane way home, when the car approached a junction, he noticed a man stood with his arm out, thumb up. A hitcher.

      As Joel got nearer, he could see the man more clearly. He was around five foot seven or eight, wearing a long mac and hat. Joel stopped and asked 'where you going mate?' the man replied 'Epsom bud, is that OK with you?'. 'jump in mate' said Joel.

      The man got in and thanked him, he had dark compelling eyes Joel thought. 'American? Are you mate' asked Joel. 'Sure am boss' the man replied. Joel asked what he was doing, stood in the middle of nowhere, in the rain, in the dark.

      With that he replied, saying he was lost and that he was going to visit old friends, one of whom was called the fat man. Joel asked him, 'is that what you call an old friend, what’s his proper name?' the man grimaced and said 'I never knew his real name, he wasn't a friend really. Just an old acquaintance.'

      Joel asked his passenger again about the fat man. He answered slowly, the words came out like an old video tape. 'he's got the falcon, I just missed him when I was in Casablanca, he's Maltese you know'.

      Then it hit him, no! It can't be? What did he say, falcon, Casablanca, Maltese. Joel slammed on the brakes switched on his overhead light, looked at the man more closely and promptly fainted. He came around, with the guy gently tapping his face saying, 'wake up wise guy, wake up!' he gave Joel a swig of something, out of a funny looking silver bottle that tasted like brandy.

      When Joel recovered somewhat, he exclaimed wide eyed, 'You're Humphrey Bogart! Right! The old movie star.' 'OK wise guy, what’s new' said the man. 'I'm going crazy! That’s what’s new!' shouted Joel, 'you've been dead, since the late fifties, tell me I’m not crazy!'

      'You're not doolaly kid, I've been in hiding and now on the trail of the fat man' said Bogart 'I got held up in Casablanca, by a dame and a guy named Sam, at some godforsaken airport 'you've heard the story about the falcon? Seen the film? Its all god damn true! I've seen it! A beautiful twelve inch high golden figure, glistening with diamonds. I've been sent to retrieve it from the fat man and return it to
