L.D., holding court on the "men's" side of the room, jabbed his cigar in the air for emphasis, looking so much like a character in the B movie Jack had watched on the late show the night before that he had to suppress a laugh.

"Ennis how many years we been married now," Jack asked? " I think its eight" he replied. "Well you would think that
by now those stupid, people at the power company would have our address right." "Why whats wrong with it bud?" "Well
we been livin in this same house that whole time, and they still can't seem to get it right." "I have called and called them over
and over again, and it don't help none." "Where do they have us at?" "1722 Wall street. Instead of 1722 Hall Street." "They
must think we're some o' those dumbass frauds up there in New York." " Heh, probly so."
