Gabby's Produce
I support small business. I wish there was a way for every salesman to be able to accomplish whatever dream they have independently. That means not having to work for a monster corporation. Oh wait, I wish there was a way for everybody except Gabby, the fruit truck that lives 1 block away that has a loud horn that used to play the Pee Wee Herman Tequila theme every time he pressed the horn. Only now it just plays a loud collaboration of notes all in different key signatures. Did I mention that he gets in his truck at 7:30 am and rides sometimes all the way until 9pm?
Where does he ride you might ask? Well he rides up my street which is a short 3 blocks long, then down the street right behind me which is the same distance, then back up my block.
The sound of his horn is so ear piercing. It's like nails on a chalk board. It's rough when I get to sleep in and instead am awoken by the sweet sounds of Pee Wee Herman. I forgot this beautiful add on to the story. Gabby drives up my street, backs into my driveway to turn around, and bottoms out. There are scrapes all over the apartment driveway from Gabby. Whenever I hear that horrible scrape it brings out the beast in me. It makes me want to murder a small village.
Did I mention that Gabby is a middle age fat man? I just thought I should mention that because whenever I say the name Gabby everybody thinks of a woman.
Good news on "The War against Gabby". That's what I call it. Catchy isn't it. Two days ago I saw Gabby working on his truck. This morning when Gabby bottomed out on my driveway at 8 am the truck could be heard choking. Today when I got home (which was around 7) Gabby was parked with the trucks hood open and parts were all over the ground. For the time being, Gabby's Produce is dead and maybe I can sleep in.
To anyone that doesn't know this; I live across the street from a huge cemetery. You need to understand that Gabby's horn is very loud. I always wondered, when there's a funeral, are the services interrupted by Gabby? Or do you think that maybe some people laugh to themselves when they hear Gabby? Or maybe people hear it and get hungry and start craving fruit? Nothing get's me hungry like the Tequila song.
One things for sure, the dead and I should be getting a good nights sleep tonight.
There
just to clarify, that was danny's comment when we were walking through babyland, the horn started to go off and he said what if you were at a funeral and heard da da da da da da da da ....da da da da da da da. (that's when it was the tequila song)
Oh, and I just wanted to say, that I have had dreams about fucking up the fruit truck! those are some good dreams!

Don't worry Justine I'm not going to school for nothing I won't let Gabby's truck die!!! It will live again! This I promise. I won't stand idly by and watch another small business fail if there's something I can do about it!!!
I hope you get a good nights sleep. : )
I think one morning you should go outside and buy some fruit from Gabby. That's it :)
