Then I started coming home unhappy.

“What’s the matter, Hank?”

I had to get drunk every night.

“It’s the manager, Freddy. He has started whistling this song. He’s whistling it when I come in in the morning and he never stops, and he’s whistling it when I go home at night. It’s been going on for two weeks!”

“What’s the name of the song?”

“Around The World In Eighty Days. I never did like that song.”

“Well, get another job.” “I will.”

“But keep working there until you find another job. We’ve got to prove to them that. . .”

“All right. All right!”
