Is “spittoon” even a word? I don’t know but.. Darryl, the brother of Darrel walked by my rental the day after the aluminum had been taken off of the shed. I was showing a friend of mine the rental. She was dressed in Sunday best clothes. I was in my old work clothes.
When Darryl walked up, he took one look at her an as if he were tipping his hat ( he did not have one on), he said with a nod…”Mam…” and then he looked at me and said…”Yours?” I took that to mean, “Is that your property?”. I responded, “yes”.
He then said “Took it all, didn’t they?”. Again, I said, “yes”. And, then he looked at my friend and said, “Excuse me ma’m”, and spit off to the side.
Both of us about fell to the floor. Our eyes met but we did not laugh although we both obviously wanted to…..
