Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

It's time for what's pretty much my favorite time of the week when I get to chat with my dear, long lost friend Bama, who moved down, moved back home to Alabama on me and Bama.

Speaker A:

Did you see this deal where the cruise ship water slide broke and shot a guy out like a cannonball?

Speaker B:

Oh, I sure did, Haystack.

Speaker B:

They said it spit that poor feller out like a mouthful of chewing tobacco.

Speaker B:

And let me tell you, Haystack, I can read.

Speaker B:

Ain't.

Speaker A:

Oh, goodness.

Speaker A:

I'm almost afraid to ask.

Speaker B:

Well, this one time I was on a cruise, I was lounging in the hot tub when the tassel from my bikini got sucked into the drain.

Speaker B:

The next thing I knowed, I was trapped underwater.

Speaker A:

Well, that sounds terrifying.

Speaker B:

Well, it was terrifying.

Speaker B:

I'm staring death right in the gooch, Haystack.

Speaker B:

So I take the only life saving measure I could think of and I went topless.

Speaker A:

So you're telling me that helped?

Speaker B:

Well, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker B:

It's funny how the very thing I've been given a bunch of tickets for was the thing that saved my life.

Speaker B:

Like my grandma always said, God works in mysterious and occasionally inappropriate ways.

Speaker A:

Huh.

Speaker A:

I don't think that's how the quote goes.

Speaker B:

Oh, I'm pretty sure it was, Haystack.

Speaker B:

Anyhow, I gotta go.

Speaker B:

My cat swallowed my press on nails and I gotta induce vomiting so I can get ready for my job interview.

Speaker A:

Please tell me that those two things are not related.

Speaker B:

We'll see, Haystack.

Speaker B:

We will see.
