The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 19, 2023

His number is up.

It’s an integral part of the plot.

Oh, dear…the puns really multiplied.

Deep six that pun

Shame he wasn’t four warned.

Don’t forget; 7 8 9

His number’s up.

It looks as if his number is up.

Trey fell backward, stabbed through the heart. And in lying there as such, dead on the floor, the cops knew it was “m” for murder!

I could never get into these foureign films.

Oh he’ll pays four his crimes.

It’ll be a prime case of murder. Solving it will be easy as Pi. That must be the “8’s Motel”

One, two, Foury’s coming for you…

Just doesn’t add up for me.

8 is next…

The audience was divided on the result.

Hmm something doesn’t add up

I thought of that "two"1

If four kills three, there will only be one left.

But 4 wasn’t the prime suspect

Give four a Chuck Norris round house square in the head and it will be two weak to kill you.

Henny Youngman lives. Elvis on the other hand is still dead.

Didn’t want to support their dozen offspring

This is a big hit on Broadway, and the numbers back it up.

Cue the shower scene music from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 film “Psycho”:

Pay no attention to the number behind the curtain.

Maybe not. If 3 reacts quickly enuf, he can take out 4 with the ol’ 1-2.

gol

This is 2 bad.

IN act 2, 7 8 9.

All that is needed now is one in a tutu.

It’s curtains for somebody.

Plot exposition always spoils the show!

The name of this play is “Death by the numbers”.

You’re about to become a statistic.

He figured it out – he must be Magnum PI.

If it’s on a stage, it would be considered four play

Spoiler alert! Or a plot twist.

Four was simply getting EVEN for three looking at him ODDLY.

3s at 6s & 7s…

It’s gonna be curtains, for Trey.
