Turkey Bass
Posted on 07.14.05 by Widge @ 5:20 pm

Ken tried to sing "Old Man River," and then commented that it doesn't work unless sung by a bass. So I gave it a try.

He said, no, that I'm a turkey bass. So it still doesn't work. I said that I was a second bass, so I can hit the notes.

He said, no, turkey bass = white guy.

As promised, I am posting this revelation for the world to see. Or at least the three people who read this site.

  1. Could be worst, you could be a turkey baster. ;-)

  2. I'm just frightened that the two of you were singing that song… that vision will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life, and I wasn't even there…

Don't ask.


This is my latest book. Short stories written especially for you, or at least someone who reminded me a lot of you at the time.

Read it for free here. Or if you like paper, buy it here.

Then tell all your friends about it. Or all your enemies. I'm not particular either way.

They're not perfect, but they'll do in a pinch.
