The big man told another to take the bottle down to the end of the street. "Boot you tell him when he gets in the right spot." When it was in place and the man had moved back out of the way the big man turned and asked me, "where's your rifle?".
"Don't need it for this, "I said. Looking down the street I said, "the bottle's laying different."
He turned toward the other men and said, "and now the excuses start boys."
