An old favorite Story back by request!
I said well anyway I was wondering how much for a room for the night.
The person says Oh I see just passing through are you.
Funny I did not hear you’re horse and the stage won’t be here for another hour! I laughed and said Know horse just walked in to town. The person looks at me and says from where a bouts? I said just up the road wasn’t sure if you people would, be open that storm out sides getting to wipe the wind up. The person says why we would open all the time. I said oh well that’s good to know! Anyway, how much for the room the person says 15 cents.
I said no seriously how much is it really?
The person scratches his head and says you sales men deal hard well ten cents but that’s as low as I’m going to go. Don’t expect me to provide a hot meal for that.
I started to laugh again and said wow you people really stick to script around here.
That’s a good one no I don’t think ill be needing a hot meal tonight.
The person smiles and says OK it’s the room up the stairs at the end of the hall.
You won’t need a key doors open I said well thank you very much don’t suppose you can brake a fifty!
The person looks at me then says what are you crazy we do not carry that type of cash here only the bank dose. You will have to stay some place else banks closed. Besides that, money looks counterfeit.
I do not want any trouble where in tar nation you get that kind of money any way.
What do you take me for you cannot use fake money here!
Well it was at that moment that I suddenly felt somewhat funny.
Ether this person was the world’s greatest actor or he was not acting!
I suddenly backed up and said OK Ill just see my self out.
The person said wait just a minute may be the sheriff might want to talk to you!
I said no thanks that’s OK I’m fine your fine we are all fine here.
I quickly ran out the door and that is when I seen it coming strait at me!
The stage couch being led by four black horses on top of it was two men dressed in old west clothing.
The Cowboy yelled get out of the way you fool what you are trying to do get your self-killed.
I jumped and landed in a puddle of mud when I stood up the entire town was gone.
Just a field and a small sign swinging on a post in the rain and wind that said
Logger Town 1886 population 750.
Well I made hast in the wind and stormy weather back to the main road seen a car coming stuck out my thumb and it stopped!
The Guy rolls down his window and says can I help you? I swear it was the bar tender I back away from the car and say No thanks Ill catch the next ride.
The person says what ever you say partner your the boss and drives off.
Well I made it in to the main city and was over overjoyed to see a restaurant.
