Gallagher put the toy back done on the table, 'T Rex?'
'Actually it's an Allosaurus.'
Gallagher raised an eyebrow and Wilkes dismissed it with, 'Anthony collects 'Dinosaur' Magazines'
Wilkes picked up the Allosaurus and held the ragged little plastic toy up to the flourescent light. 'See how the tail rises from the ground? Like it's suspended in mid air? T Rex's tail was too heavy to lift and was used more for standing support. Like a third leg.'
'I wonder if anyones put that the other way round?'
'What?'
Gallagher began to laugh at his own joke, 'You know, the big penis as the third leg thing. What if you just referred to each of your legs as your 2nd and 3rd dicks?'
'T Rex was a lurcher. Allosaurus was a runner. So the tail was for balance. Hence, off the ground.'
'You'd make a great detective.'
'In a movie maybe.'
'You really know all this? You're not making it up?'
'I just like to read something less serious on the toilet.'
'Any moment to yourself eh? So, conclusion?'
Wilkes put down the dinosaur, picked up a clipboard and flipped to the last page.
'Subject is a white male. Approximately 7 years old. Cause of death is asphxiation due to presence of foreign object lodged in the trachea. Subjects fingers show extensive presence of salivation. Most likely self insertion. Cause of death is accidental. No need for criminal investigation.'
'Good Times.'
'Except for the obvious.' He opened another freezer drawer, 'Something more interesting from Tuesday though.'
