Two boys get famous by just showing a little ivory to the wrong people.

Yes sir word for word he said distinct or well maybe he did say extinct
I don't remember for sure but dammed.  I mean dammed if I had any idea 
it would cause all this trouble and fuss I would have talked him out of 
it or come to look you guys up long before now. 

Well yes, that is true I did not exactly look you up and you did have to
run through the woods and get wet in the swamp to catch me but I was 
going to come in pretty soon you just got to me before I had a chance 
to make up my mind.  By the way all them leech bites will heal up just 
fine if you keep a little Vaseline and a band ad on them for a few 
days. 

Right, it has been over a year since we did that nest and then in just
no time at all people started talking about the ivory pecker birds in 
the swamp and getting all worked up because they saw some white on 
these big woodpeckers' wings. 

Well yes, DeWitt and me did take a little money from some folks and we
did say we knew just where to find the birds.  Money is hard to come by 
down this way and it seemed like they wanted to see the birds real bad. 


DeWitt?  Oh the last time I saw DeWitt he had some left over orange
paint and was on his way out towards the swamp in our little boat. 

Say do you think maybe I could talk to that lawyer now?”
