Tex and Slim
Tex poured a helping of vinegar
and spluttered.
“Wop vinegar is sourer than th
eir vino.”
Slim Rawlins cut in, “That’s im
possilbo Tex, this vino is the sour
est thing- this side of Texas. It’s
like liquid acid drops.”
Tex stuck to his guns.
Ye’re cracked guy. This would
eat a hole in a General Lee tank,
it would!"
I bet you can’t got anything
more sour than this vino,” Slim
snapped back.
flow much will ya bet?”
Slim Rawlins put. a ten spot on
the table. Tex covered it with an
other ten. They glared at each
other.
“How you all going to decide,"
I drawled.
That stumped them, then Slim
got an idea.
"Let Capone taste it and give us
a decision. He should know; he
dishes ’em both out.”
“Okay, Boy. Let Capone’s word
be. final.”
We called the moon-faced Cap
one over and he stood fawning
down at us, rubbing his hands.
Whatsa trub. Americana?”
We explained. His face changed.
He backed away.
“No bono Signors.” Tex reached
for his 45. Capone burst into color
ful Italian and waved his hands
wildly.
"Hurry up. tasle it and let, us
know which is the more sour, the
vinegar or the vino.” said Rawlins.
•‘The vinegar.” Tex growled. Ca
pone wiped his sweating face.
“Signors, da vinegar it. no can be
more sour den da vino."
“And why not?"
‘R( r-ause. Engl is he. I mean Am
erican::. .im! unu hour ago I take
both from the verree same bar
rel."
The man from T-'-xas and Hie
man from W'voming were silent. I
took 1 ;t a five and handed it to
Capone.
"You deserve a tip for your hon
esty", I said.
