Bob was out mowing the lawn. This was a sort of "sure babe in a bit" job that the "bit" had gotten here. As he pushed the mower and wished for the power mower, he in a foolish moment, had given away when he left Cali, a rather sad looking man walked up to him.
"Excuse me sir?" The man said and Bob, truth to be told, who would much rather talk than mow in the heat, stopped work and replied " Yes sir?"
"I am very sorry to disturb your fine work Sir. But alas I am lost!" the sad looking fellow said.
"My pleasure to help sir. Would you care for a coffee or perhaps a cold beer?"replied Bob
"Why..why thank you!" Answered the sad faced man. "A cup of coffee would be grand. If it is no trouble?" "Not at all sir. I always keep a good supply of coffee at hand. Come sir into the garage and out of the sun. Please take a seat." Bob said as he handed his guest a cup and a plate of donuts.
"Ah if I may be so bold sir?" "Please sir!" replied Bob.
"Well Sir I see by the donuts and coffee and your gray hairs that you must be either a retired constable or a teacher?"Spoke the sad faced man.
"Spot on sir. I am indeed a retired history teacher.'
"Well, the old friend I am looking for went into education and often speaks of a friend "Bob" Would that be you ..." Before Bob could reply There was a mighty roar from the door.
"Larry you old flea collar wearing bum!!!! What are you doing here? Too long old friend." Roared Grrr as he picked up and hugged the sad faced man...
