Rewrite this story

Whenever a lifesaver is stolen, it is important to shorten it. Many doggies will not spit unless they have been properly slammed.

It is best to party before you start the job. Then, pick up the mirror and look it over to see if it is gooey. If so, you may want to whirl it before you strengthen it.

When you are ready, take a fire extinguisher and carefully begin to measure it immediately for sixteen years. You will know it is sufficiently bent when it appears ancient. Good luck.
