tres so I said tres and he says no it was tray because you say the letter e like it was the letter a and you don’t pay no attention to the letter s . So I asked him what it was there for then and he said that was just the French of it so I had a notion to tell him to go and take a jump in the lake but I decided to just say nothing and quit. I guess the French people are not crazy and they wouldn’t nobody but a crazy man stick a letter in a word and then make up their mind to ignore it you might say and it would be just like as if I wanted a beer and I would go up to the bar and say “Give me a bee” and I guess the man would think I thought I was in a bee hive or something or else he would think I had a bee in my bonnet eh Al?
