Blind Willie picked up, and I got down to business, talking quick. "Listen Willie - I need help. I'm tailing heat, wearing ladies pajamies, and I've got me a borrowed T-bird and a ham sandwich."

"Sounds like you got it all worked out," Blind Willie drawled. "What do you want from me." I glanced out toward the gravel parking lot, where a pair of cruisers were pulling in and another blocked the exit.

"Not much Willie, just lawyers, guns and money." I dropped the phone, grabbed Flo's keys, and headed for the door...

Flo's bird proved to be dependable.
In no time, I was cruising towards the state line.
Ten bucks in my pocket, nowhere to go...
I wondered...

.....as I was crossing the state line I hear a voice from the back seat....

Andy F

I wondered...would my sponsers body fit in the trunk of a T-Bird?

My thoughts were swirling. It was like time had meshed together, and six different plots had hit the accellerator and were gunning for the horizing.

Time2Surrender

....Then I hear the voice again in the back seat.It was Flo's twin sister "Gloria".She had passed out in the back seat the night before

Cathy31

"Got a hit?" she says

Andy F

A hit? Sure. Cliff Richard was Number one in the UK charts with 'living doll in 1959 he said, but she knew what he was really thinking...

............As the gas guage was quickly disapeering I knew I had to do something fast I reached into my pocket to pull out my last 10 dollars and realized it was A ONE!!! Just my luck.....

I then noticed a blackboard on the side of the road...a gallon of whiskey for 99c ...what was I to do...

Andy F

99 cents for whisky...then I saw an axe priced at a knock down $1. And I thought of...

Time2Surrender

.....I could go in the store with the ax and take everything.Or better yet send Gloria in....

Phinneas

So quickly I explained the situation to the bleary-eye Gloria. "Look, I'm not having a very good day. I'm running from the heat, wearing ladies pajamas and I'll I've got is this borrowed T-bird, a ham sandwich and a lousey one dollar bill. Can you help me?"

I could tell that she was stuggling to follow what I was saying by the way she was looking at me, blinking and confused.

"Please." I said, looking at her with my puppy-dog eyes. My pleading must have gotten to her because she looked deep into my eyes (which Brookie tells me are melting pools of limpid blue) and said...

Dan

... "Excuse me? Do you have any rolaids?"

Phinneas

"Women!" I muttered to myself. I wasn't going to get any help from her, that much was obvious. "Now what?" I thought. "Do I try to get gas, an axe or whiskey? Or, better yet, some new pants?"

Just then, my musings were interrupterd by an astounding sight. I saw...

Ann

...'cause you're going to need them when you find out that is a Canadian $1 and worth about 12 cents here...

An AA convention was going on - RIGHT NEXT DOOR!!!!

Andy F

I saw Don S coming out of the AA convention. WTF, I decided to ask him...
