Wolfe’s Woofer: Scary Sounds

Share

We took a break from shooting pool and Mario called, “Hey, Juney! Come have a drink.”
When Juney Cho sat down with us Mario asked, “Where you been, man? We ain’t seen you in months.”
“I been hiding out,” Juney said.

“I heard the scariest sound in the world. I was lucky to get away from it and I been hiding so I don’t hear it again.”
“That’s crazy,” Mario said. “You don’t have to be scared from sounds.”
“They do if they hear what I heard. What’s the scariest sound you ever heard?”

“I’ve heard scarier,” Juney said. “How about you, Mr. Dennis?”
“I once heard an airplane crash right outside my house. The sound was awful.”
“Not even close,” Juney said. “I was seeing this married lady a few months back and her husband came home early. I dove out the window naked but he caught me.”
“He grabbed your foot?” Mario asked.
“No. He got my private parts. I heard these awful screams and then I noticed it was me doing the screaming.”
“And those screams are what you call the scariest sound?”
“Oh, no!” Juney said. “I’ll tell you what the scariest sound in the world is. Have you ever heard somebody open a pocket knife—with their teeth?”
