Honkey Tonk Speed Ball Salad Maker
I met this fellow in college. He was sharp and polished, but something did not really sit right with me. Honkey Tonk was really not too fun to watch in his moods and his daily activities. Everyone loved HT because he was a "winner". He won tickets to ball games and he sold shoes in the basement of the world trade center. He was really strong and he really made me happy. But that was his job to the Florida express train sanctuary for shoe preservation. Honkey Tonk really was a neat man, but I must say that really, I was not really enamored to be his best friend in life. I did like his shoes and I loved his facial features. He brought many children and taught them how to tie shoe laces and that was really important. But that said, not all of his children was my best friend either. They just didnt play with the smile that I thought they deserved. So one day, I visited Honkey Tonk at the World Trade Center and he offered me some shoes. I took a pair and it wore very well. It was really useful and I began to think he really was the star for which we needed to give credit. But that said, I never still was the biggest fan although I did feel guilty when I once made a silly caricature of Honkey Tonk to give to my mother's friend who lived in the Moon's rays on Pluto. I just distanced myself from HT's cool way of life and he in fact was just on the television once in a while. HT was busy for many years and once in a while his shoes were bronzed and put in the national shoe hall of fame. This was the biggest honor and HT had quite a few of these bronzed shoes in his lifetime. It was almost a record and other shoe sellers were compared to HT. HT later bought a book on acid digestion and he began to start eating his meals more carefully. At this time, I realized what I had suspected. HT was sick at the doings of eating his meals. I must say that HT now became a man that I felt conjecture to love at this point and I realized that he really was one of us like everyone else. But that said no one would forget that HT really had an acid reflux problem and that HT was ugly on the inside at a level that some of us would never accept in a best friend of our shoe sellers. So the moral of the story is if you are interested in making salads out of marshmallows and tire tacks which was another of Honkey Tonk's habits, make sure that you make them slowly and you enjoy your job as well. Being intense and competitive is ok but if you are angered it is going to make you a very bitter soul. Being angry about losing a shoe sale will never go to your soul as a good move.
