Lamphear Pittis awakens after a two-day sleep.

LP: "Damned if that wasn't a fine sleep......Whutz all this stuff piled up here on toppa me?.......Thizzeer place shur fills up doanit? Now then, I cud uze summa then vittles and another pull on thet jug.........howabout summa then there ...say what?" LEJ: "I said, how about seein' some barter up here first Pittis."
LP: "Shur, like I sed Ize got me 200 pelts ta trade."
LEJ: "Well where are they? I fed that starvin' jackass of yours more in two days than a plow horse eats in a month, and I didn't see a damn thing besides that bag I brought in and threw down there next to you."
LP: "Hey, thanx alot, I mitey obliged....These iz them all right."
LEJ: ".....uh......You got 200 pelts in that little bag? This I gotta' see!" LP: "Well heer ya' go...Whaddaya' think?"

LEJ stares in amazement at the small, coarse haired, and scraggly "pelt" completely mystified.

LEJ: "What in the name of Old Hickory's asshole IS THAT?"
LP: "Possum."
LEJ: "POSSUM? Jaysus pal, ain't nobody wants no possum pelts!!! You right in the head? Damnation....You got anything else to trade with?
LP: "Well......I got these here."

LEJ examines the small, pinkish-brown objects.

LEJ: "So what's these things?"
LP: "Whistles."
LEJ: "Well, I dunno' how many of these I can sell, but, uh...Well, maybe....What are they made from?"
LP: "Possum assholes."

LEJ slings the "whistles" across the room.

LEJ: "Now lookit here you dumb Buckeye...Go out and do something that's worth a damn so you got some barter!!! Possum pelts and assholes fer chrissakes.......An don't come back til you can pay up for what you owe! I'll keep this gittar til you do. NOW GIT OUT!!!"
LP: "Okay, okay....no need ta git yurself worked up. Ile be back an take care of thingz an git my gittar too. Doan wanna be cheetin ya ur nuthin......Ile see ya."

LEJ watches him go and looks at the guitar behind the bar.

LEJ: "I hope ta hell he does come back. What am I gonna do with this gittar. He said it was one of the first ones the guy made, how much could that be worth? Besides, anybody that knows THAT guy couldn't be too far from a fool themselves! C.F. Martin,huh? Probably a bigger idiot than that Pittis feller.........Keericed, possum pelts and assholes........Do y'all BELIEVE that guy??? What a shitkicker."
