...Well, with extreme care, maybe a month. But if you keep up your present lifestyle--drinkin', cussin', sweet-talkin' the ladies, with nary a moment to sleep or think up new material--I'd give you maybe one more week...
SLIVERS OF TEXAN LIFE brighten Whorehouse: the cussin' sheriff, the corpulent mayor, the flunky-prostitute-turned-cafe-waitress, the hot-to-trot senator.
