On a typical Catskill Mountain morning, with a clear sky and the usual rain forecast for the afternoon, a State Trooper, astride his motorcycle, an ill-fitting and ill-shaped Stetson perched precariously on his head, sped down Route 17, alert for erring motorists. Rounding one of the roadway's many curves and approaching one of the many hamlets in the mountains, he spots a towel on a gas station's mailbox and is filled with apprehension, what can it be? He slows to a stop, dismounts, squares his Stetson as best he can and grimly inquires of the station operator the purpose of the towel, "What message have you for me, good citizen, is it murder, mayhem or worse?"
