ever since he lost his sight in a bizarre tiddlywinks accident.

Now he

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/14/2022:  04:25:35

welds by braille, but that’s a touchy subject.

Do you suppose

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/14/2022:  08:36:19

that he would like to further his education if possible?

He could always

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/14/2022:  09:30:22

become a piano tuner with penchant for torch songs.

Why he ever left barber school

3 Finger - Posted - 10/14/2022:  10:36:34

May have left barber school because he found the truth with better education.

Now he's...

OM45GE - Posted - 10/15/2022:  02:56:45

planing to write a book about his exploits.

His working title is

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/15/2022:  04:46:27

“Welding A Future as a Highly Educated Blind Piano Tuner in a Barbershop With an Axe”

Of course

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/15/2022:  05:36:23

his editor told him to shorten the title.

So it’s become “Wally’s Wild Ways”

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/15/2022:  13:01:20

which was what he initially wanted.

Sales are

OM45GE - Posted - 10/15/2022:  17:36:05

expected to be in the high single digits.

The royalties

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/15/2022:  17:48:47

will be returned to his mother that is about 80 years old.

Turns out that she

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/15/2022:  21:52:35

used to chauffeur Jimmy Hoffa around during his heydays.

But she had a gambling problem

OM45GE - Posted - 10/16/2022:  03:29:45

and bet Jimmy that he couldn’t beat her in a game of Hide and Seek.

That was the last

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/16/2022:  06:33:16

time anyone saw Jimmy.

Rumor has it

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/16/2022:  08:05:16

he’s living the high life now in Costa Rica.

Elvis is his neighbour

OM45GE - Posted - 10/16/2022:  11:16:21

along with Bigfoot and a couple of ET’s.

For some reason

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/16/2022:  14:18:37

they all are not aging at all due to the climate there.

Seems like

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/16/2022:  16:38:26

not everyone enjoys banjo music.

Just yesterday

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/16/2022:  17:08:16

I was ask to leave the Costa Rica Banjo parlor.

I left, but

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/16/2022:  19:35:31

my tuba-playing neighbour called the noise bylaw officers when I was jamming FMB for 2 hours straight.

I told him

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2022:  02:30:14

I would stop if he stopped banging on the ceiling with his horn.

He didn’t

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/17/2022:  05:04:41

and so I didn’t.

Shortly thereafter

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2022:  07:13:36

there was a knock on the door.

I crept quietly

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/17/2022:  07:25:43

out the window.

Then I slashed

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/17/2022:  08:50:47

his tires and slowly walked back to the house and peered through the window.

Talk about being upset as he

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2022:  17:25:59

threw his tuba out the window and it landed on his car which led to him discovering his four flat tires.

I know he suspected

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/17/2022:  18:14:07

me but he really didn't have any solid evidence about the incident.

It was later

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/17/2022:  21:38:56

when his battleaxe wife showed him the video she took of the aforementioned slashing that he retaliated.

He commenced to spraying “eau de outhouse”

OM45GE - Posted - 10/18/2022:  03:34:26

through the mail slot in my front door.

Then he

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/18/2022:  05:15:13

left town on a Greyhound bus never to be heard from again.

It’s a creepy time

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/18/2022:  12:42:41

now as the leaves have turned colors and fall is near.

Just this afternoon

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/18/2022:  13:33:22

I saw a squirrel and a chipmunk weeping.

They must have started their nut-collecting too late

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2022:  02:46:15

and realized they were going to have to eat cake.

Fortunately, they

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/19/2022:  06:30:22

stumbled upon the dumpster behind Jimmy’s Lunch where wasted food is tossed.

Today’s special

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/19/2022:  08:19:55

is fried spam, sauerkraut, and fried PEI spuds , with Jimmy’s wife’s lumpy vanilla pudding for dessert.

All that for a mere $12.57

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/19/2022:  09:51:09

including tax for the first two hundred customers.

The crowd was by now

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2022:  14:35:31

starting to realize there was a good reason the prices were so low.

They were

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/19/2022:  16:24:16

starting to think they were having symptoms of food poisoning.

The Health department finally

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/19/2022:  17:21:37

showed up and padlocked Jimmy’s kitchen door.

After that Jimmy and his wife sold jerky, Twinkies, and soda pop

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2022:  18:28:43

from the back of their VW microbus.

First they had to

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/19/2022:  20:14:50

remove the psychedelic paint job on the microbus.

Then they installed

OM45GE - Posted - 10/20/2022:  02:38:21

a killer sound system.

They wanted

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/20/2022:  07:03:54

to travel to California but ran out of gas and money in Tulsa.

Now

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/20/2022:  09:40:37

they’ve parked down by the river and busking downtown with kazoo and glockenspiel.

Their daily “haul”

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/20/2022:  10:09:32

barely made them enough to keep fed and not to mention fuel for the microbus.

After a few weeks

OM45GE - Posted - 10/20/2022:  12:36:28

of no sales, they decided to pack up and move to Key West.

First they had

KyBanjo - Posted - 10/20/2022:  16:08:53

sell the bus for enough to make the trip.

Once in the Keys they

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 10/20/2022:  17:04:16

discovered the astronomical cost of living was more than they could bear.

Off they headed
