Business travels:
There was a
time in my life when I would have to go to places like Houston, New Orleans,
and Memphis on business. I loved going because big city folks are a hoot. Once
in New Orleans, I was strolling down Bourbon Street and approached a woman who
Dustin Hoffman as The Rain Man would have described as “sparkly”. As I passed
she said, “You got the time?” and I said, “Sure, it’s 7:45.” She gave me a look
of disgust as if I was some dumb hillbilly. I thought, “Well, I may be a dumb
hillbilly, but at least I know what time it is.”
Another time
in Memphis, one of my cohorts and I were going to breakfast and past two men
feverishly searching their pockets in front of an office door. One was older
and one was younger. Both men wore nice three-piece suits and carried brief
cases. They were very stylish and looked the executive type. They were
obviously locked out and looking for their keys. The older man had his brief
case open, and he was telling the younger one to check his as well. When he
reluctantly did so, it was absolutely empty except for what looked like a
cheese sandwich, but he sure looked good carrying it.
