The case of the ruined apple ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

In the wake of my apartment being burglarized at least 3 times in the past 3 weeks, we need Sherlock Hemlock on the case pronto!

Sherlock Hemlock (the defective detective) was a fixture on 'Sesame Street' in the '70s. He was cool. He ought to be President of the World.

He solved major crimes and important mysteries. Like in this 1970 sketch, when Ernie found a ruined apple laying on the counter:

That apple was utterly, completely ru. It seems like nobody in their right mind would want to eat it after it fell through the bag and landed on the filthy ground (because Ernie was dumb enough to use a bag with a hole in it). But ol' Sherms wants the half-eaten, dirty apple as payment for his amazing services.

Egad!
