Cheap Coyote Tricks      by Greg Keeler         Page 8                 

Black and White Bogart Humility

After a long day of driving
in 90 degree heat, Coyote
stopped at a small, cheap- 
looking motel. Coyote
didn't mind that there
was neither air conditioning
nor ice
nor glasses
nor towels
nor color t.v.,
for there was a small black
and white t.v.
with a Bogart movie on it.
In the middle of the movie,
Crow came to the door
with ice, towels, glasses
and Jack Daniels.
"Had you complained," said
Crow, "I would have thrown
you out. But because you
appreciate humility, humility
appreciates you."
So Coyote and Crow got
pleasantly drunk and
passed out just as Bogart
pumped four rounds into
Edward G. Robinson and
swung the boat back
to Key Largo.

  
Easter Bunny Pistol Grips

"I'll take that one,"
said Coyote, pointing
to a shirt with Easter
bunnies all over it.
"Good choice," said
Badger. "That's our new
designer model. Bunnies
are really big these days."
Coyote looked around
the room, and sure enough,
there were watches with
bunnies pointing out the
time, chrome plated revolvers
with bunnies etched on the 
grips, even little Bibles
with bunnies and Easter eggs
stamped in gold on the bindings.
Coyote almost bought a Bible
when he saw the part about
Easter, but he put it back
when he realized that
they had left out the bunny.
