Also, just got this in from Gracia's pal Chris:

I have a bad idea for you: A cop (Bruce Willis) loses his partner in a pitched gun battle, and cracks up. He replaces him with... a ventriloquist's dummy.

The best part is that the dummy is voiced by Danny Glover, and constantly says stuff like: "I'm gettin' too old for this shit!."

S'a good'n, and shall most definately make it into the book. Thanks, man.
