"This is the Pickford Zoo -- not the migratory petting zoo. We're missing a small alligator named Hershel and we've had a tip that someone in your neighborhood may have knowledge of its whereabouts. If you know where it is, please call, and if you have Hershel, please return him -- no questions asked. Thank you. Oh, and we're also missing a small measuring cup -- know anything about that?
