A Generous Reader Sends Me Back to Spirit World

Mea Culpa, please forgive me

A generous reader offered me 10,000 Iranian Rials to finish the story of What’s REALLY Going to Happen at Apple on September 12th

With that kind of incentive, I fried up a batch of hummingbirds and jumped right back into the tomato juice after getting my beans ready. In an instant, I was back in front of the toothless old man with the hat.

He grinned.

“Back so soon, sonny?”

I tried to snatch his hat, but he was too quick for me.

“Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice ain’t gonna happen. No flies on me!”

There were two flies buzzing around his hat, but I guess technically, they were not on him. I took my can of Dark Red No Salt Added Kidney Beans from my satchel.

“Want some of this, Phineas?”

“Who’s Phineas?”
