I was talking to Bill the smog guru
when his cell phone rang. He gets a lot of phone calls during the coarse of the
day. People call for information regarding smog test, and ask him repair questions
for their vehicles. Bill will answer the phone but on rare occasions. If
someone calls and doesn’t meet his high standards, or expectations, he’ll give
the caller a label on his cell phone. He’ll type in something to the effect of
“El Grand Stupido,” or if it’s a lady “Nasty Bitch,” if she tries to push her
weight around.
We’ll
be sitting there talking about Fairport Convention, or about the time Bill saw
Jimi Hendrix at the Hollywood Bowl when Bill’s phone will start to ring. He’ll
pull it out of his shirt pocket and take a quick look at the caller ID to see
who’s calling. “El Stupido Maximo,” He’ll stick the phone back in his pocket,
until the phone rings again. He'll look at the caller ID, “Nasty
Bitch #19.”
