Tonto the Bug Zapper

There exists a man in the kingdom of many who exists simply to zap bugs that walk on our sidewalks.  His name is Tonto but he is a Venezuelan and not Native either.  Tonto amuses me in many ways but his big bug zapping suitcase is the key to all of his success.  Tonto zaps bugs on his way to work and on his way to the store. I believe in Tonto and will always welcome him into my life.  It is like reading the funny papers when he smiles.  I just think that Tonto lost his bug zapper in some sense as mostly today, he just goes to the store with a regular suitcase and his bug zapping days are sadly closed in many ways.  But that's ok.  He still has that bug zapping suitcase and I know he will keep using it for his entire life.
