There is a house in our neighborhood where garden gnomes mysteriously appear in the yard on a regular basis. This has been going on for about five years now.  Sometimes new gnomes appear.  Sometimes they just move around the yard.  Lately, the gnomes that have been appearing are all holding a weapon or threatening in some way.

When I speak to the homeowner, I steadfastly claim to know nothing about this gnome business... 

...and will continue to do so until I die...

...despite the $70 in Amazon gnome sales charges that also mysteriously appeared on my credit card this year.
