“Great to see you too, Connie. I’m concerned about Uncle Pete, thought maybe you might know how somebody catches the express train from here to there, you being somebody with such a good nose for news.”
“If I had any better nose, I’d have to toss you out on principle. You look like you just woke up sad from a night of sleeping rough with a bottle in an alley. Sorry, Grim. Like I said already, I’ve got money on this race, and I can’t go tilting the table. You know that’s not my style. I stand to lose a lot. It’s not even an even money proposition any more. The odds are 7:10 with the ten being the end of your career. Unless you’re buying a book, that’s all you’re going to get here. And you know I don’t have any books with pictures. Nice talking to you. Stop by again some time.”
Stinky-pants! It’s the soggy Depends. They should take at least one shower daily (in the TV series, OCD Monk took three showers per day). I remember smelly Old Folks of both sexes. I also remember the distinctive household odors of certain members of my own ethnic group.
