| A drawing entitled, "Blue Macaw, by artist Sam D, graces the restroom wall at Birdman Cafe in St. Francisville, LA. |
Was up till four drawing frames and spent an hour doing one from my sketch instead of the director's stick interpretation of the human form. I woke up late and stumbled to the car to head to Birdman, for some coffee and granola cookie. When I got there, Brittany, one of the waitresses, was dressed in an American flag shawl, and red, white and blue tennis shoes.
She said, " You wanna pay for this, now... or later?"
When I said now, she said, " Pull a flag!"
I said, "What?" to which she replied, "Pull out your flag!"
I thought for a moment, like most guys would, that she was flirting with me until she nodded at a rice filled bowl of American flags.
"If you pull a flag out from the bowl, you may get a discount on your purchase," she yawned.
"Can I Iose?" I'm not really up to losing at anything, right now," I yawned back!
"Ben, she said, just pull a flag, you can't lose!"
As I did, she said, " You pulled a winner... three dollars off on any purchase!"
"Happy Fourth of July, Ben," she said, as I put my change back into my wallet and a couple of bucks in the tip jar.
"Happy Fourth of July, Little Miss America!" I said...
"Happy Fourth of July!"
