Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk and the Red-Headed Stranger
Adrian Monk: Captain, I wouldn't tell that story about your accident to too many people. Captain Stottlemeyer: Why not? Adrian Monk: Well, the hills north of Highway 18 have been closed for two weeks. Brush fires. Captain Stottlemeyer: Really? Adrian Monk: What really happened? Captain Stottlemeyer: I was cleaning my gutters and slipped, fell off the ladder.
