Off the board or I’ll come up and drag you off.” Well, he came off, and he said, “I’ll meet you outside.” My car was mostly… These were all public housing behind you. My car, there was a gate out here. I parked my car outside the gate, and I… He said, “I’ll be waiting for you.” He was waiting for me with three guys and straight razors. Not a joke! There’s a guy named Bill Wright, the only white guy, and he did all the pools. He was the mechanic, and I said, “What am I gonna do?” He said… There used to be a chain that went across the deep end, and he cut off a six-foot length of chain. He fold up, and he said, “You walk out with that chain and you walk to the car and say, ‘You may cut me, Man, but I’m gonna wrap this chain around your head,’” and I walked up to my car!

I apologize for that.” You said, “You apologize to me?” I said, “I apologize for that. Not for throwing you out, but I apologize for what I said.” He said, "Okay, "closed the straight razor, and my heart began to beat again.
