short story

since i already did two teeny posts this afternoon, i'll tell you my one, short story of the day.

i went to tapenyaki to pick up dinner this evening, and as i was getting on my scooter to leave, the shop owner of this tiny little stand i parked in front of came up to me and asked if i was american. i told him yes, de zou (texas). he looked at me for a second and then this giant smile spread across his face and i could see all of his teeth dripping with burgundy betel nut liquid and he went bowlegged, swooped his arm around his head pretending to rope a cow and started screaming 'COWBOY! COWBOY!'
