Dead Man Loop
A heavy breath
Dark room
Window dirty
A broken TV
Dry flower pot
Dog skeleton in a frame
Man with a razor blade and a beer
Woman clutching a book and a Ruger
An open telephone
Deep trouble

Ugly Table #74
F’k off Democrats
Me: I think I know your dad, great guy.
Customer 1: Thanks
Customer 2 (across the table from customer one): It’s too bad he is a Democrat (in a snotty voice)
Me: What’s wrong with that? (Then I walked away.)
Customer 2 (under her breath): F’ck Off.

I Married A Drug Mule
That was years ago
and the tension did not end
at bedtime
nor did the fun ever begin
Morning coffee did not help
Nothing did
She left in a Buick someone else stole

The Round Up Tip
The round up tip is usually not good, but this guy must only figure out his checkbook in increments of $50.
