Town drunks

A man told me funny story the other day about two town drunks that we all knew and who lots of you knew. He said they started out real neat and well dressed in sport coats and slacks before they went on a three day drunk. The man who told me this story was a boy at the time, working for an infamous mercantile store in this little town. He met the two  very drunk men on the street on the third day of the drunk. He said they looked awful. One had a 6 inch in diameter stick of bologna under his arm and had just pulled out a big plug of it with his hand, taken a bit of it and offered the rest to the youngster. The other man had an onion in his pocket  that they had been  gnawing on, that he also offered to the boy, who was fresh out of appetite. He thanked ’em for the offer and moved on.
