The shiner that David got was comparable to the shiner that Sean got that was comparable to a raccoon with nothing going for it except for Monday’s trash. David bought a pair of sunglasses for $5 and wore them all day. At night he felt foolish wearing them yet he had no choice. Only the day before had he pulled a chain out of his truck to “whoop up on” Steve, who had pulled out a small club from his truck to “give David what for”. David’s chain got caught on Steve’s club and echoes from Lord of the Rings made the fight somewhat of a comfort to Sean, who loved Gimli. Steve punched David, giving him the shiner, and David sort of just sat down, holding his eye. Steve said, “I gave you what for. Now you go home.” And David said, “Man, you punched me in the eye.” And Steve said, “I know. I’m not blind.” And David said, “You oughta be.” And Sean said, “I’m going home to get my mace. Wait here.” And thirty minutes later, Sean showed up with his mace but no one was around to see what he had that could make him the go-to guy for a medieval weapons cache. Two minutes later, Sean’s shiner would be self-inflicted from the mace and wouldn’t have $5 for sunglasses.
