Agent Smith had just returned from monthly target practice, carrying three large sheets of paper. Here and there were bullet holes inside an outlined man holding a hand gun.
“How did it go, Agent?” asked Detective Reilly, putting down his coffee cup and glancing at the punctured targets.
“Not bad,” answered Agent Smith. “But I noticed something strange while I was down there. It might be worth looking into.”
Reilly’s eyebrows jerked up slightly with interest. Curiously enough, it was always interesting to see what new uninteresting cases Agent Smith could come up with. Reilly gave Agent Smith an inquisitive look as Smith spread out the targets on his desk and mumbled: “I don’t see anything strange. They’re the same targets we’ve been shooting at for years.”
“Exactly!” replied Smith. “Haven’t you ever noticed that all these men drawn on the targets are ALL right-handed? You’d expect about ten percent to be left-handed. But no. Something’s not right here.”
Reilly slowly scratched his head. “Uh... yeah, Agent. You’ve got a good point there. Better check that out with Captain Wright.”
