The owner of a small gas station hurled a man out into the street.
He was a wiry man, covered in ratty brown clothing and stinking of all manner of repulsiveness.

Elroy's speech was slurred as he tried to sit up. "N-Now hold on a minute, Jack, I was just-"
"Then after that time you shit on my floor!"
"I-I had them runs, Mike, you know how them can beans do me-"
"Then after that time you blew crack smoke in my face!"
"N-Now see, you done just lied that time. I ain't never touched crack! How you own a gas station and don't even know what a Black'n'Mild smell like?"
