CRIME SCENE

Two police officers respond to a crime scene behind a grocery store. The homicide detective is already there. "What happened?" asks the first officer.

"Male, about twenty-five, covered in Raisin Bran and dead as a doornail."

"Good grief," says the second officer. "Didn't we have one covered in Frosted Flakes yesterday? And Captain Crunch last week?"

"You're right. I'm afraid," says the detective as he took a drag from his cigar. "This is the work of a cereal killer."
