"You
want to have lunch?'"
"Sure,
where?"
"We'll
go to the Marriott Hotel, it's on the house."
"Whose
house?"
"Theirs,
of course."
"How's
that going to come off?"
"My
buddy Bob McCarty is staying over there. You know, the
guy I told you about. He's here selling some franchise and
running up an outrageous hotel bill."
"What?
Does he leave in the middle of the night?"
"No,
he's already sent them a letter on the letterhead of
one of his bogus companies. So when he checks out all he will
do
is sign the bill."
"Good
stuff, let's go join him."
When
they arrived Bob was already in the restaurant. The
waiter came to the table, and took their orders for Chivas on
the
rocks. "Well, Bob, here's my partner in business. Or should
I
say crime? Tom Haug meet Bob McCarty."
"Well
I've heard a lot about you. Bob."
"Well
nothing good I hope."
"No,
I can't imagine Jay knowing anyone good. If he did,
he'd only know them till he got their money." Both Bob and Jay
laughed in response to Tom's gibe.
Then
Jay turned to Bob "Are you running your ads here?"
"Yes,
in the business opportunity section of the paper."
