Henry was enjoying the show on TV as he listened to the boisterous conversation in the bar. He was almost lost in thought when a man approach his table. He could her the thumps of the old sheriff as he walked to Henry. He was a big man like Henry but had an impressive looking belt and a large mustache and large cowboy hat to match. Sheriff Richards was out and about as his usual self.
"Well Henry. Looks like I found ya! I thought I told you to fix that old shed on your land. It doesn't meet safety standards for our fire code. You know about the issues we've had...'
"Yeah, yeah, I know that. I've been busy with my ranch though.."
"No, you are fixing it today. Either you fix it or I come out with an inspector and land you with a fine!" Sheriff Richards puffed out his pot belly to intimidate Henry. But both of them were big. Simply expanding his belly didn't phase Henry one bit. But he played along.
"Fine I'll do it today"
Sheriff Richards smiled, "Good boy!'
