“Let’s go over this again.”

“We’ve been over it five times!”

“So it’ll be easy! You said you were in the woman’s house…”

“I said I was at the computer store. I wasn’t anywhere near her house!”

“Oh, that’s right. You were buying a Razer, just like the one that killed the woman.”

“Yeah, I was buying a Razer Diamondback 3G Gaming Mouse! It’s got an 1800dpi with a Precision™ 3G infrared sensor, as well as seven independently programmable Hyperesponse™ buttons and On-The-Fly Sensitivity™ adjustment as well as Always-On™ mode and Zero-acoustic Ultraslick™ Teflon feet! I use it on my Windows-based PC!”

“Hey, how do you make that noise?”

“What, you mean ™ ?”

“Yeah, that’s crazy. I can’t do that. You part Indian or something?”

“You just have to practice. ™. ™.”

“TM. TM. I can’t figure out how that works. You got a gift, my friend. A real gift.”

“Well, thanks, Detective. But it’s nothing special. Listen, you do believe me, right? I didn’t strangle that woman.”

“Well, I’ll tell you, my friend. I didn’t say she was strangled.”

“Y… you didn’t?”

“No, my friend. I said she was killed by a Razer. Most people hear that, they figure somebody came in, cut her all to pieces. But you, you knew we found her wrapped up in the seven foot cord. Why is that, my friend?”

“I… I… I want a lawyer.”

“I bet you do, my friend, I bet you do. ™. Hey, I did it! Guess you were right, my friend. There’s nothing special about you after all.”
