In the second story, cop #663 has been abandoned by his stewardess girlfriend, and he mopes around his apartment talking to household objects. He finds a touch of romance again in the strangest person: a blonde-wigged, drug dealer whose smuggling deal has gone awry. To commemorate his loss, he buys canned pineapples with an expiration date which holds great significance for his break-up. The first is cop #223 who flounders in all his attempts.
