Uncle Ryan seems to know his hoes, although for ten bucks you’d have to question the quality.

If someone is providing a service someone else is willing to pay for, I think they deserve at least a measure of respect. Of course, the amount of respect and the amount of the service rise proportionately. (Is that $10.00 per, uh, job, or per time segment?)

Well, I suspect that someone who “dates” Trout’s mother is pretty much a bargain-basket sort of shopper.

Though you never know…

There are rich folk for whom “slumming” is part of the forbidden aspect of appeal.

I still get the impression the Uncle Ryan is not in that category.

In any case, I’d bet $10 buys something a bit shopworn…..

and not even a… um… a garden-variety sort of hoe…

And I’d like to think that Trout assumes they’re all talking about a stubby blade on a long stick,

and nothing a ten-year-old girl shouldn’t know about.

I get the impression that Uncle Ryan is not too acquainted with gardens.

I get the impression that Uncle Ryan has more than just a runny nose.

I get the impression Cochran’s been setting us up for that gag all week.

Do’s po’s knows hoes…

$14.28 at Walmart.

Ha!

Also, only $10?

Cheap at half the price!

Inflation is killing us.
