Last Wednesday…during a lapse of clientel at the soup kitchen…I retreated to the porch for a long-over-due indulgent Marlboro…
No sooner than I lit up , a car pulled in loaded with hungry patrons…. I stubbed the coffin-nail for later enjoyment, and returned to my station of duty in the soup kitchen…..chunking the snipe in a desk drawer for safe keeping..( thirty-five cents a piece )
While patrons shopped from an array of diverse bean selections , I casually went about my task of withdrawing proper files and logs to record their visit….then several moments later , HOLY TOLEDO , my desk is on fire !!
My poorly stubbed snipe had re-ignited inside the desk…smoke was rolling from the drawer…right beneath the strategically placed NO-Smoking sign..every crack and crevis was emitting vast plumes of smoke…
Is this how my life will end ?…in a flash fire at the bean kitchen ?
I was precise but subtle in my attempt to eliminate the smoldering snipe.. I casually withdrew the smoking drawer and sequestered it to the front porch , where the whole nicotine fiasco had originally began…. acting as though it was common occurrence rather than an active fire-drill……distracked patrons were none the wiser !
This second incident reminded me of another discarded snipe 55 years ago….in the tool shed…when things didn’t turn out near so well… but any incriminating comments WILL immediately be erased…(IX-NA on the comments Ed & Sheriff Hamilton…)
I said IX-NA Ed….why you always stirring the coals of fires past ?
Nice try Tom…I’m still on guard duty…
