Living in a Small Town

Living in a Small Town We were visiting a small town, I discovered a darling little house for rent Me: how much for the deposit. Mr. Turner;I don't need a deposit I do have some questions. Me: Great. I'll answer anything. ;Mr. T:; Why did you move to our little town? Me: The cheap rent Mr. T: Who are you related to? Me: Do I really have to be related to anyone here? Mr. T: We don't want no strangers in our little town. Me: They let you in... (I didn't say that.) Morris Family... Mr. T Raised eyebrows (They own most of the businesses in town.) Mr. T: How many kids will be going to our nice little school? Me: Two.( I wondered what this has to do with me renting a house.) Mr. T: Will you be having any wild parties? Me: Not that I know of. Do you want invited to one? (He didn't think that was funny.) Mr. T: What are your children names? Me: Why do you need one of them for a deposit? (He didn't think that was funny.) Mr. T: "Are you going to join the Lions Club?” Me: "Do I have to?" Mr. T: "No, but it would be the neighborly thing to do. What church do you go to? Me: "I have to go to church? “ (the look on his face) I belong to the big one. Mr. T:; "Okay looks like you'll do. Me: Aren't you going to write any of this down? Mr. T: What for? I wont forget it." I dug out cash for the deposit. Mr. T:Oh, I'd rather have a check, I'm afraid I'll lose cash. Me: I only have a out of state check. Mr. T: "Is it any good? Me: Yes, but...." ( I could be lying) Mr. T:Well, then it's good enough for me... I know where ya live." He took my check and left me the keys.
