Contents Of Clappy's Jar: <Clappy twist's off the lid and pours out the contents of his little glass jar onto Dealer's card table.> <As he spreads out the assortment of stuff he has collected over the few years he begins to show some of his more valuable prizes.> This here is a piece of ticker tape that Voltaire had must have gotten when he was a kid. I found it under the Porch next to some old Orange Neehi bottles. It has the ticker for General Electric on it. It must have been Voltie's first tech stock. (This was probably when an electric washing machine was state-of-the-art cutting edge high tech.) Scribbled on the back it says, "Reminder: Figure out away to invest without the stress. These 2 point swings are giving me an ulcer." <Clappy displays his next valued prize.> It's a #6 fish hook that Coonaz gave me. He said he caught a 185 pound lunker off the coast of the Sea Of Cortez with this small hook. <Polvie "The 185 lb. Lunker" interrupts to show everyone exactly where in the seat of his pants the fish hook stuck him...> <Clappy pulls out a crumpled piece of paper and reads it to the Porchers.> It says, "iou $10. yer fren, polvie. p.s. thanks for telling everyone i was only 185 lbs." :^) <Clappy shakes the jar and more stuff falls out.> This here is a lightnin' bug that I had named CREE in honor of the brightness of his glow. Then I forgot to pop little holes in the lid. Little CREE hasn't been glowing very brightly lately... Perhaps with the miracles of the Biotech science, we will be able to revive the little guy... This here little piece of paper is from Double D, (Dealer Dude). It says the following: "I Love You Man!" On down days, I take it out and it makes me feel better. I picture her warm southern smile as she hands me a glass of spiked lemonade. Then she pats me on the back, tells me everythin' gonna be alright, and sends me on my way. <Clappy picks up the rest of his items (like the missing button off his shirt, a few marbles he thought he lost, and a harmonica he's been meanin' to learn how to play) and puts it back into his jar with his lucky #12,000 post.> -JohnPoppersHarmonica
