Waterproof

I know an old guy who likes to to tell of when the newspaper reported some drownings by giving the headline "11 Waterproof Negros Drown". He's old so he's pretty racist and thinks its clever. I can't understand how so many people down at one time though so maybe a mad up story.

Used to have trashcans saying "Keep Ball Clean," but people kept painting an S on Ball.

Also there is a Ball Cutoff Road... but you never see the sign for it, probably because someone has stolen it again.

Z’Wally

I have a buddy from up that way. He’s about what you’d expect, but he shows up with tamales every time I see him so he’s ok in my book.

Chauvin = Hot Wine
