'I didn't put it there', she cried, 'I haven't been in possession of my own mind since a week last Sunday, so how can I be held responsible', she told the policeman.

'Anything in my pockets isn't my own, especially that illegal substance anything, you see, I was abducted by aliens and I only came back yesterday.'

'That old chestnut', said the Sergeant, 'It wasn't me, it was the little green men. Why don't you tell me what really happened?' he leaned forward in his chair.

'I can see you're a nice suburban sort, admit it. Its out of character. You'll get off with a caution or a fine. You are only making it worse for yourself.'

'But its true', she said, 'I was having my tea and all of a sudden there was a flash. I came round and I had missed a whole week, it was Monday and I was wandering the streets with drugs in my pocket.

'How did you know I was going to be there? Is it a conspiracy? Did they tip you off? Do I know too much? Except, I know too little. I can't remember.'

She looked confused and the Sergeant looked bored. He spoke into the telephone in the room. 'Better get a doctor', he said.
