This is the story of Darby and Art. Darby moved Uptown, while Art moved Downtown. Now Darby wanted to have some guys over for a Poker night, but didn't know anyone in his new area. He figured that Art may be able to help him, since Art knows everyone. So Darby went out in search of Art. | ||||||||||
He was walking down the street, looking for Art. He turned the corner and there was Art. Darby told Art that he wanted to have some guys over for a Poker Party, but didn't know anyone. Art said, 'Well it just so happens that I know these 4 guys who are looking to play.' Darby said, 'Where'd you find them?' Art told him, 864th Street.' Darby said 'Thanks, here's 2 bucks for your time. | ||||||||||
Darby took the guys back to his place and everything was going fine until he started losing badly. One of the guys decided that the party was starting to get boring, so he suggested to Darby that maybe if there were some women there, it may liven the party up. Darby, not knowing many women went to find Art. Darby went downtown walked down one street, went around a corner, walked down that street, turned the corner and there was Art. Darby explained about the boredom and the suggestion that he get some women for the guys but didn't know any. Art told Darby not to worry because,he just happened to know these four ladies.; Darby asked where he found them. Art said, 'Over on 468th Street.' Darby said, 'Thanks, here's 2 bucks.' | ||||||||||
After getting back to his place with the ladies, nothing really happened. The ladies didn't really seem to warm up to the guys at all, so one of them suggested that Darby get some liquor. Knowing that the liquor stores were already closed he set out looking for Art once again. He took the bus into downtown knowing that Art was always on the move. He went down a couple of streets, turned the corner, there was Art. Darby told him that the ladies didn't seem to like the guys very much and that they needed some alcohol. Art said, 'Well, I just happened to have these 4 bottles of Ace High Whiskey.' Darby thanked Art and gave him 2 bucks for his time. | ||||||||||
When Darby returned with the drinks, he found out that the ladies don't drink, so the four guys drank all four bottles by themselves. One of the ladies told Darby that there was no way they were going to go home with these 4 drunk guys and that they either needed someone else to take them home or cab fare which would be ten dollars each. Darby only had a few dollars left after the night's poker decided that he would have to enlist Art's help once again. So he headed once more downtown. He walked down one street calling out for Art, turned a corner, walked around the area, turned a corner, and there was Art. Darby went on to tell about how the whiskey was great, but the guys drank it by themselves and now he needs someone to take the ladies home or cab fare. Art said 'Well I do know these 4 sober guys. They can take the ladies home.' Darby again said thanks and 'here's 2 bucks for your time.' | ||||||||||
The sober guys seemed nice enough, but when they arrived at Darby's and saw the condition of the other four guys, they got upset. They took the 4 drunk guys home stranding the ladies. Now Darby had to come up with forty dollars for cab fare, but he only had five dollars left to his name. He took the ladies with him and searched for Art. They walked all around downtown not knowing where Art might be, but they turned the corner, there was Art. Darby told him that he needed cab fare to be able to get these ladies home, and since his wife was going to be home soon, he couldn't let the ladies stay. Art said, 'Well, you're lucky. I do have 4 tens I could loan you.' Darby said, 'Thanks! Here's my last five dollars.' With that, Art got pissed and left town. | ||||||||||
Later, Darby was walking down 57th street when a cop stopped him and said, 'Hey buddy, what are you doing out, you look like you're 78.' Darby said, 'No really I'm 63. I have a wife and 7 kids, 4 boys, 3 girls. I was playing poker earlier tonight and thought I was doing ok.' The cop asked, 'Well what happened?' Well I thought for sure I was going to win a good pot. I had four 9's backed by a five, the other guy had a Straight Flush.' | ||||||||||
