yeah, but we try to keep them out of our mouths
The next morning we bought some donuts for breakfast at the store. After a couple of bites, Jerry noticed a bug in his donut. He pointed it out to the proprietor, a fat man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt which already had sweat stains in the armpits. I secretly doubted the stains were from physical labor, nor that he had put on a fresh shirt this morning. Or this week.
The owner responded with, “Where you boys from?”
“Waco,” Jerry answered.
“Donchew have bugs in Waco?”
Jerry, who typically has a sharp tongue and a sardonic quip at the ready, just stood there. Finally, he said, “Yeah, but we try to keep them out of our mouths.”
