The Inspector Tockenheim Mysteries – Inspector Tockenheim’s close Shrove
Everyone is having fun at the annual Pancake day event known as “Pankoff 2011”in the village square, however things are about to go from ‘Flipping good fun’ to ‘Crippling chum’. Because something is amiss with the mayors best frying pan.
Mayor Gears: Oh me! Something is greatly amiss with my best frying pan which I affectionately nicknamed “The Prand Duchess”. My Pancakes are coming out undercooked and misshapen, a tragedy on this most shrove of all Tuesdays!
Aide Screwball: It’s even worse than that dear mayor, you see this isn’t the Prand Duchess at all….its a paddle from a rowing boat. SOMEONE HAS STOLEN THE PRAND DUCHESS.
Mayor Gears :Oh me! If we don’t find the culprit before midnight this Shrove Tuesday will be more like “Hash Wednesday”.
Aide Scamble: Don’t worry sir I’m sure we’ll have a “Good (Fri)day” as I’ve just activated the ‘Tock Signal’.
The glowing T of the Tock Signal is soon noticed by Inspector Tockenheim and his bumbling assistant Constable Cogsworthy. Actually Cogsworthy didn’t notice it at all and Tockenheim had to point it out to him but even after that Cogsworthy hadn’t seen it but he said he had to shut him up.
Tockenheim: Mr Mayor what’s all this ‘Pan-demonium’!? Don’t answer that as it was just a funny pan based pun on account of I already know that your best pan has been stolen, even more than that I know who the culprit is!
Constable Cogsworthy: Blimey Guvna’ owd you ever guess all that strike a light?
Tockenheim: Please be quiet Cogsworthy as you have delayed my explanation by several minutes and I have some important shrove business to attend to!
Constable Cogsworthy: Sorry guv, I’m just a simple bobby on the beat and I don’t mean no ‘arm!
Mayor Gears: Oh Me! Could someone please reunite me with my pan post haste!
Tockenheim: I’m afraid it isn’t so simple Mr Mayor as your pan has been eaten by a robot dinosaur from the future. Everyone knows that Dinosaurs are actually robots from the very end of time going back into the past to have more civilisation, occasionally they stop too early and must eat metal things in order to energise their time travel transistors. ‘The Prand Duchess’ is the most metallious thing in this entire village on account of it being a rural backwater where everything else is made of wattle and daub.
Mayor Gears: Then where is this paddle from?
Tockenheim: That’s not a paddle; it’s a matter control wand from the year 5000 left to you as a gift by the Robot Dinosaur. I believe that if you press the button on the side and request pancakes they will materialise before your very eyes!
Mayor Gears: What if I were to request prostitutes?
Tockenheim: Oh Mayor Gears! Everyone knows there are no prostitutes in the year 5000!
Mayor Gears: Well it was worth a try!
Everyone: Hahahahahah
Constable Cogsworthy: This is the best Shrove Tuesday ever!
