Payback

"Got anything to say now, 'bodacious blowhard' was the 'testy Teuton's comment as he retrieved his gear and headed back to the bus depot.The 'Kraut' with the ample assistance of Joe 'Gimpy Knees' Cruz had come back in the truncated second set to seize the lead (3-4 partial) and send TennisTitan and Frank 'Slats' Slattery to a pizza lunch to discuss what could have been, but wasn't. 'Slats' attempted to console the 'whining wimp' as the scrumptious pie was delivered to the table. "Titan, those sets (6-3) could have gone either way. We played them tough. No way they thought it would take an hour to close out the first set. And then to come back so strong before 'Der Klugemeister, Bob Kluge, had to bail. You've got nothing to be ashamed of." At meals end, the sated, 'prevaricating pinhead' was brought back to earth. 'Slats' opined, "there's one thing you should be embarrassed about, 'gluttonous goombah.' You ate all but 2 slices of the pie!"
