About Desert Misstake. I'm surprised

that NO ONE has caught the most obvious pun, at least to me, that I included in the story!

In Casablanca, the Head Police figure, played by Claude Rains, was named, Captain Louis Renault.

I didn't want to tread TOO heavily on any copyright toes, so I changed his name to Chief Inspector Dreyfus, and NO ONE caught what I considered to be the obvious reference to The Pink Panther!

I guess I was either too subtle or there aren't that many Panther fans here at Top Shelf.

Nevertheless, I am very pleased at the response to the story, and I thank everyone who read/commented/voted for it.

Hugs 'n stuff,
