Dang Stewball blew what was a fantastic week of money, booze and women.
Oh well. That's how life goes. One can never tell.
Nicely written and conveyed Terry. An enjoyable read.
Have a great day...

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
A humorous start to my morning, and I love all the "good ol' boy" Texas references and lingo. Of course, we knew he'd blow the entire 50K in short order, but the taxes owed was a nice twist. He was saving his last bottle of Johnny Walker Blue? I thought he bought a case? He blew through that too!
A fun story, Terry. Glad you shared it with us.

Comment from damommy
He spent $50,000 in a weekend. That took some doing. He should have stayed away from the faster horses, younger women, and older whiskey. But I guess the weekend was worth it to him.

A fun story. And quite a twist at the end. I'm not sure, but I think lottery wins here are not taxable income. You wrote it well - an interesting story - I see you classified it as fiction. Lol.

Comment from lyenochka
Oh no! He forgot all about the taxes. Of course, just that he even got the money at all in cash is surprising. As I thought they took the taxes first and whatever else it's supposed to go to like schools etc.
Was "Humperwhistles" a reference to our Humpwhistle? Or is that a real place? Is it plural or would it be Cowboy spoke is Humperwhistle's ?
Enjoyed your story and I am beginning to see a theme here. You're taking a song and use that as the inspiration / recipe for a story!

Helen, thank you for reading and for your review. There is a place in Dallas, I have never been there, called Humperdink's Brew Pub. I morphed the name to honor our friend Lee. Terry.

Terry, This is a very interesting true story you have penned. You used great descriptive words and very neat dialogue. At least you got out of that situation with some money left. I enjoyed reading this. Blessings, Teri

Teri, thank you very much for the six star rating. But I do want you to know that the story is 100% fiction. Terry.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Very funny read from beginning to end. What is even greater about this story was you could tell the racetrack would not end well but then you ended it with a perfect ending: no money, no young thing but a large tax bill.
Perfect!
Best wishes,
Mary

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is really amusing. You have such a way with words. What a way to blow $50,000. Sue Ellen came out of it in good shape. I was hoping as I read that they took the taxes out before he got the check. Of course, they didn't. It makes for a better last line.
