We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways.
One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere.
Like the time I took the ferry to Shelbyville.
I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville,
which is what they called Shelbyville in those days.
So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.
Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days,
nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them.
Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Now where were we, oh ya.
The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
They didn't have white onions because it was the war.
