Talk Jocks Wowed by Waiter's Ingenious Repertoire

Arch conservative Keith Rush of Robert Namer's Hottalk Radio and political analyst Christopher Tidmore of the Louisiana Weekly's afternoon radio show were happily dumbstruck after their recent initiation into the "Pump Handle's" unexpectedly complex game.

Pete and myself were kind enough to peel back the deceptively smooth veneer of the American feeding frenzy during candid interviews on their respective programs. As always eyebrows reared and hands began feverishly patting down pockets.

"There's real people behind those black and whites! ...Individuals!...Shit!"

Once you get Homo Sap involved it's bound to get complicated.

"They're shaking us down at the troughs!"

That's hallowed ground.

Well...good morning, folks! There are as many agendas as there are people. They come in all shapes and sizes, and where a man is most humbled and morally vindicated, that's where he is most ingenious, hence the waiter's nifty bag- smarter than most everyone, assailed by obtuse a-holes on all sides who expect, despite their penny-pinching, abuse, and exploitation, that he/she is going to settle there accounts in a trustworthy fashion. So much for that. Thanks for another juicy rationalization.

Anyway, those guys loved it and we all had a great time. I expected Keith Rush to take at least few gratuitous moral jabs at us, but no such luck. One mention of Payola and he was eating out of our sticky hands. Chris Tidmore really got it and had fun with it. I suspect he must have been a waiter or bartender at some point on his way to the top. Keep your eyes peels for an upcoming review in his local mag- Louisiana Weekly.

Cheers.
