I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you’d say. Now where were we, oh ya. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because if the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

I fear Eddie may be right. Lobsters are a luxury. If people stop catching and eating them, they’ll multiply like rabbits and rise up to seek revenge on their human oppressors. Oh the claws…the hideous claws!

As little as lobstahmen been gettin’ for their catch these days, a lot of ‘em are giving up because they can’t afford the fuel to go out anymore.
