My thirsty wanted whiskey, my hungry needed
beans; but it`d been a month of pay days since I`d heard that eagle

When I was about 10 years old I was hungry and wanted a snack. So I grabbed an apple out of the fridge, sat leaned on the counter and took a bite. And it wasn't good,,, over-ripe, with a mealy texture, not crisp. Edible, but not good. So - I did the reasonable thing and dropped it in the trash.

My Dad said "Don't throw that away boy - whaddaya think,,, those things grow on trees!?!?!" :laugh:

We both got it at the same time, and laughed our a$$es off. My Da wasn't always wise, but he was usually funny. I miss him every day.
