"Listen," said Notchey, grinning, "if that's not true, _I'll kiss your ass
in front of the post office, and I'll give you three weeks to collect the
crowd_."

There's a colored version, from some, now-forgotten time in the '50's, back
in the 'hood, that goes like this:

"If [whatever], I'll kiss your ass on the courthouse steps at high noon on
Friday and give you 45 minutes to draw a crowd."

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
