"Sure, Jerry was a ass. But that don't mean
he deserved what he got. There's plenty folks
what take it too far when it comes to jokes,
and Jerry wasn't near the worst I seen.
"But still, he shoulda knowed ol' Ox McPhee
was not the man to make look like a fool.
Remember Ross, that prankster from high school?
There's a reason he limps now, 'tween you and me.
"Yes, I was here that night, and I saw Ox
grinnin' like a grim skull, beer down his face,
and Jerry laughin' while that brew fair steamed.
That poor sumbitch. I bet he never dreamed
he'd end up under twenty ton of rocks
down at the quarry. McPhee's dad owns the place."
