"Your License, Please."

Well, we needed the beer, I guess. I had no idea that you'd let "Monk" the kitty cat take your car and drive to the 7-11 to get it.
I'm rather confused, as I'm not aware that cats can drive, but you assure me that they can, and do.
Time passes and Monk and your car are nowhere to be seen. I'm wondering if he's been pulled over and whether he has a driver's license. You seem quite calm. Not I.
Later, Monk shows up in the driveway, without the car OR the beer. I wonder if the cops have your car, and maybe the beer too. He doesn't seem to care, nor do you.
Cats driving? Missing Beer?
Hell, it must be time to wake up.
