He said "I got a guitar that's made of witch wood and galvanized bucket metal."
"It's not acoustic is it? I don't buy acoustic guitars." A gentle belch punctuated the end of my sentence. He spit on the ground. It might have been tobacco juice or maybe just spit. "Oh, it's electric all right," he said. "You can see char marks where it shorted out or something one time. I never played it. I swapped a guy for a log splitter I could never get running right, but turns out it just needed a plug and a little starting fluid. I was really ripped off, turns out. It's real witch wood though. You familiar with witch wood?" I said that I wasn't. He smiled. "Witch wood is wood that is from a tree that a witch was hung from until dead." He smiled again. "Rather than just until she was gasping mightily?" I asked. I'm a total riot sometimes, I swear. "Huh?" he said. "Never mind," I said. He spit again. "Anyhoo, it's at home in my gun safe. Wanna see it? It's pretty cool." I have an inner instinct that tells me when to roll the dice and when to pass. It fails me a lot. But it's the only inner thing that still talks to me. "Let's go," I said. "I'll follow you." The Russian guitar in Pennsylvania could wait a bit longer.

The meds helped:-) When the last one quits talking to me, check for a pulse.
