All Bald Up With No Place To Go

All In A Day's Work

I don't know of any readers recall my story about Farris Davis, the inbred black lady that once visited my office to ask me for money. Well, she was back yesterday and she brought her removable leg cast with her. It was an unusually busy day for me yesterday and I was in the middle of multitasking when she walked in. The conversation went like this:

Farris: Hi my friend...Charlie...how's you doin?
Charlie: Hi Farris, I am good, how about you?
Farris: I am good...ain't you even gonna look up at me?
Charlie: I'm sorry Farris it has been a really busy day today and I am getting some things finished up.
Farris: Oh okay. Yeah.
I look at her and she has a cast on, which is what she wanted me to see.
Charlie: What happened to your....
Farris: The Holy Ghost.
Charlie: leg? (I can just imagine the shock on my face was like because I immediately stopped doing everything I was doing and twisted my head to look at her)
Farris: I had the spirit in me and that did it to me.
Charlie: I didn't know Tonya Harding went to your church.
Farris: No, I ain't seen her. I had the Holy Ghost in me and I fell back and none of them menz caught me, and I chipped that cap in my knee.
Charlie: Oh...that's too bad. Does it hurt? Are you going to have to have surgery?
Farris: Um...well, I have to get one of those Mr. I's did so that they can tell me if I have to have surgery or not.
Charlie: ????? You mean an MRI? MRI?
Farris: Oh yes...one of those. Say has your momma told you that I been telling you hi when I see her?
Charlie: Yes, she has told me.
Farris: Say, Chawlie...you got a couple dollars I can have?
Charlie: No Farris...I don't even have my wallet with me.
Farris: Oh, okay well I guess I am gonna go visit my sistuh. She is the nursing home...she been there about 7 months. Okay Chawlie...it was good to see you, but I needs to go.
She left my office and that was that. BTW, I bet none of you knew that Tonya Harding was the Holy Ghost...WHAP!
