>>DONNIS: I went over there to kill Teddy. >>JENNIFER: Yeah, I remember the story too!
[LAUGHTER] >>DEDRA: And I remember him saying that's
how he reacted, he was like whoa! [LAUGHTER]
>>DONNIS: Before I left there I... >>DEDRA: He was going 35-36 thinking he was
flying home! >>DONNIS: Before I left there I was saying
ole buddy, ole pal I'll see ya later! I went over there with my pistol to kill the ***!
>>DEDRA: He's my best friend! >>JENNIFER: Damn!
>>DEDRA: I remember him saying I was going about 30 thinking I was going 70!
[LAUGHTER] >>DONNIS: That was the first time I'd ever
fooled with it, I was about 30 years old, ya know. And I smoked some of that stuff with
them boys... >>DEDRA: You wasn't 30 your were probably
about 35. >>DONNIS: I probably was, I was way on up
there. >>DEDRA: 'Cause you were only 30 when I was
born. >>DONNIS: Oh okay I was about 35. But that's
the first time I'd ever smoked marajuana. So, and it was good too apparently.
[LAUGHTER] >>DEDRA: Apparently!
>>DONNIS: But uh, I started, I sat there until about midnight with them and everything's
fine. I'd done talked to Sweetie and she's up there with Gloria and them in Wyoming or
something, by that time I could give a damn if she was in Egypt or something. But anyway,
walked down there, told them goodnight, got in my damn Ford pickup, went out there and
hit 188. And there's a curve there at 188 they call it, some kind of curve. But there's
a dirt road takes off to the left from it down there and goes down in sort of a black
subdivision thing down there. That curve goes on around towards and goes on out to Bayou
La'Batre. And Teddy lived in that curve. In a trailer. So I come out, turned left coming
on back towards Highway 90, well it ain't but 3 miles down to Highway 90 hardly. Well
I drove. And I drove. Damn, I should have been there by now. I heard something beep,
beep, beep and turned around and looked and I had a line of cars behind me that could
go accross to the hill down yonder! [LAUGHTER]
>>DONNIS: I looked at my speed-ometer and I'm doing 10 mile an hour!
>>JENNIFER: Oh ***! Damn. [LAUGHTER]
>>DONNIS: I went to gas and I got that *** up to about 40 or 50 and you would have thought
I was... [LAUGHTER]
>>DONNIS: And I drove like that for a little while, and just a little bit I heard some
beep, beep, beep and I looked, there's another line. Looked at my speed-ometer and I'm doing
10-15. [LAUGHTER]
>>DEDRA: Thinking he's going 65 or 70! >>DONNIS: I finally made it to Highway 90.
>>JENNIFER: Damn. >>DONNIS: Went down there to Sandy-Jo's ole
joint, and sat right there and drank me some beer until that *** wore off! Jesus!
>>DEDRA: You didn't know what to think? [pause]
>>DONNIS: Bill and all of them smoked it but I had never paid no attention to the ***.
I'd taken a draw of something, but, to smoke one you gotta know how to smoke it.
>>DEDRA: Oh graceous. >>DONNIS: Yea, damn.
