That's how everyone looked when I was hung over. Another reason I stopped drinking.

Where's Jersey Mike's?

A face out of focus

Idiot... that's a pawn shop with a tobacco license. What do you think the loupe and gram scale are for? Also, room rental was still cheap in some houses, back in the 80's. Mine was only sixty five bucks per week.

What's that, in the water?

Choked up because the server brought my cup of water?

Like I said, the room rental was sixty five per week, which was all a minimum wage guy could afford back then. You know who always lost out during layoffs? People who got paid minimum wage and rented places that cost three quarters of their take home pay.

Five bucks

The rent at the rooming house was sixty five dollars per week.

Yeah. One of the lugs broke off and he replaced it.

About six months, which is three times what it should take to find a job.

Less fortunate? Luck is nothing without planning and foresight.

They sell beaters, now. Five year battery and you can knock the Hell out of it for fifteen years before it finally quits. Better than using any of your decent watches in some tasks.

Shitty watch gets a shitty new band.

Yes, that's pronounced, "Super Freak O".

I wasn't selling anything. I just brought the stupid thing in to get fixed.

Wow... what can you say about four people who decided to gang up on one guy and threaten him with sharpened tools for money?
