Wednesday Story Day – AKA Hump Day

 

Wednesday is story day again. This week’s story takes a little of the Frank and Billy nonsense and expands it into even more. As you may recall we left Billy on Thanksgiving eve with a car trunk full of AK 47, cocaine, a dead guy, and a dead deer. The idea in Billy’s mind was to prevent the police from ever discovering the AK 47 so the rest of the items were piled on top of the AK. (let’s not even go there on the dead guy) So this week’s story picks it up after Thanksgiving.

“Hey Billy. How was the holiday?”

“Just fine. I got to see my brother and father in law.”

“Father in law? I didn’t know you were married.”

“Oh, I’m not.”

“Then how do you have a father in law?”

“He is my real dad. I just call him that since he has been in jail so many times. I guess I could call him father in trouble with the law.”

“So how did you manage to see him?”

“He was out on bail and I invited the two of them for Thanksgiving dinner. I had that deer you know.”

“Oh yes, the deer. What about all the stuff under the deer?”

“Yeah well, it was not easy.”

“What do you mean?”

“I went to pick up my dad from the jail and after he got in the car behind the steering wheel some dog came around and started sniffing the trunk.”

“Yes?”

“Then some big guy with a rifle came out of the jail and made us  open the trunk.”

“You are killing me. Go on.”

“Nothing much left to say. He found the deer and then the guy below the deer and then the cocaine and finally the AK 47.”

“And you are still here to tell the story?”

“Yeah, that’s the difficult part.”

“You shoot the guy with the rifle?”

“Huh? No, of course, not. Besides there was a bunch of guys who came up right away.”

“So what happened?”

“I told the guy I had no idea what was in the trunk.”

“He bought that?”

“Well, it was my father’s car and him being a convicted felon and all.”

“You let your dad take the fall? That must have been difficult.”

“The worst part those guys took the deer as evidence. I had to eat Turkey for Thanksgiving.”

“Billy just shoot me in the face.”

    I’m no longer sure if Billy is an idiot or a cunning mastermind pretending to be an idiot. Nice twist.

    Hilarious! Especially like the “father in trouble with the law.” I’m with Charles: I thought Billy was an idiot but maybe he is a mastermind 🙂

    This is just hilarious, John. I really enjoy the antics of Frank and Billy. I also really enjoyed your interview, or should I say conversation, today. You came across extremely well. Dashing and brilliant, as I predicted you would. Very interesting and enjoyable.
