Overheard in the tavern

"I've always loved the sound of ice cubes hitting against the walls of a highball glass and the gay fizz of carbonated water..." his voice trailed off and the parade of revellers shuffled through the bar at near midnite. Passing by in the street a voice is heard singing aloud as if in a cabaret, "Its those big-breasted beauties and large-chested lovelies..."

Steady Roller: "Hey, I think I know that guy."
Hemp Daddy: "oh yeah?"
Steady Roller: "Yea, I once beat him like a dog."
Hemp Daddy: " Hold on!" (hands against the breast pockets of Steady Roller who braces himself from falling off'a the stool and makes fists like he's ready to fight)
Steady Roller: "What was that?"
Hemp Daddy: "That was... oh man... I think I even heard it out in the cornfield a while back, but now... it just seems so close."
Steady Roller: "What was it?"
Hemp Daddy: " Listen... Its Ham's Murmur."

(Enter SR's ole lady, a redhead, big legged woman. She shimmies up to him like she was fitting herself with a fur coat - slow and luxuriously. She is high.)

Steady Roller's Ole Lady: "Lets just go on home, all of us, lay in a big heap and turn on the television so I dont have to listen to your bullshit." (jabbing finger playfully into Steady Roller's barrel chest.
