The Naked Beat

by

Skip, one of the less tolerable Beatniks, came rushing up to the bar.

"Hey, daddy-o," he said as he slid a dollar bill across the bar to me, "I need some George change for the ole' Ma Bell, dig?"

I took the dollar bill, opened the cash register, and got 10 dimes out.

"Dig," I said as I dropped them in his hand. I wish this joker would dig: a hole, and then jump in it and cover himself up.

He left and I turned my attention back to the girl in the photo. She really did look familiar..

    I bet old Jake had to 'dig'deep to curb his instinct to bury his fist in Skip's face!
