Herman, an
ex-co-worker, called me. He told me
Bobby Cook died.
And while on
the phone we asked each other about different people's destinies that we
haven't heard from lately.
I asked is
"Junebug" still in the post office.
Herman said no.
Then one of
us made a coughing/clearing throat sound which embedded in the sounds was a sentence. We
both cracked up laughing.
The sentence
first made a quick brag about the size of his male body part and the second
part of the sentence asked "do you want to suck it?" All hardly understandable because of false
coughing/clearing throat spell covered up the words... almost.
Junebug was
working at the station next to me on the window. After a lady conducted her business with
Junebug, he had the coughing spell mentioned above and said the two-part sentence.
Her eyes
widened.
She said,
"What did you say?"
Junebug said
"Nothing, I was just coughing."
And glanced over to me.
She turned
her head my way also.
I was pretending
to be shuffling through some paperwork and not noticing what was going on around me. Apparently, I was invisible again, I think the
lady determined I was in another world.
What is
strange is that normally Junebug mumbles
anyway, and you are always having to say "Pardon me?" or
"Huh?" or "What?".
This time he came through loud and clear, even if the words were
embedded in a cough.
Now,
Junebug's face was red.
The woman
was staring him down.
She asked to see his manager.
The manager
came and asked her to step into her office and talk it over.
Junebug got
away with it. In the office the lady
reasoned that it was just her word against his, and of course there were no
witnesses. (ahem!)
But she said
she was going to keep her eye on him and tell her friends who come to window to
do the same.
