Today, Elmer Mott will officially debut as the Bingo Flingo master of ceremonies so he skirts through the banquet hall, smiling and kissing spotted hands.
He tells Laurie, “Maybe I should get a hot pretzel before things get rolling? Or maybe not. My gut’s stretching out lately.”
“You’re a stick.” She quickly interjects. “Weight is ridiculous anyhow. I met a man who weighed, well, I don’t know, three-hundred pounds and he was a real sexy motherfucker.”
“Are you ready to become an old folks celebrity?” Clancy asks.
“Ha ha,” Elmer mocks, “Remember. You’re my ball boy. Just roll that cage and I’ll do the rest.”
“You’ll be fabulous,” Laurie says.
Elmer, of course, peers around the concrete hall for sight of Barb.
Clancy asks, “Are you calling full cards first? Or, maybe, four corners?”
