I had two young Morman lads knock on my door once back in Rooster Poot. After a brief intro, I told them I would listen to them for thirty minutes if they helped me put my pool table (full size with slate top) together. I picked up a lot of good deals from broke musicians over the years. They went and got two more friends and after about two hours we were done. The second two left and I sat down with the first pair, and they started talking....I wasn't aware or prepared for the fact that they expected responses. Thankfully, the half hour went by quickly and they learned that I say what I mean and mean what I say. I briefed the neighbors on the cheap labor, but the young folks learned quickly. I am pleased to have helped them during their passage to manhood.
