<em>...I think she wants to ride mua tractor...</em>Dukey was amazed at how many things in his life seemed to revolve around tractors. He heard Marcel explaining about the trip to Mammoth Caves, and the personal bank for it.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 7pt;">"Holy cow, did you win the lottery?!"</span>he whispered jokingly. He looked over at his friend, and nodded his head. "You got it, man. I'll take good care of your truck for you. She'll be in good hands." He extended his own hand, again noticing too late what he had said, and the offered handshake that couldn't be returned, so he instead acted like he was reaching for some sugar packets. "Better take some of these, that way when you ask Nurse Skratchit to 'gimme some sugar', you'll have backup if she refuses your advances." He chuckled softly. "Not that she would, of course. You were always better with the ladies than I was."<br/><br/>He thought over what Bubba had told him, and decided he shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth...especially if it was Piranha. He chuckled and said, "Thanks, Bubba. That's much appreciated. I'll see ya about that when the time comes. But for now, hold onto your money, and maybe we'll all have a grand excursion to Mammoth Caves, once things settle down." He idly pondered the idea of taking babies along on a hike into caves, and the possibility of the sound of crying bringing down all that rock on top of their heads, and shrugged slightly.<em>How bad could it be?</em>he thought. He'd obviously never dealt with an angry infant.<br/><br/>He saw Marcel smiling, and asked, "What's the look for? Oh, I know! You're just waitin' to get your arms around that cute Nurse Skratchit, ain't ya? Well, I hope your burns heal quickly, so's you can put the moves on her all proper-like. You remember Lucy? Man, I wonder what she's up to now. She slapped you so hard, your teeth nearly fell out of your head, that one time when you were making out with her and groping her behind the shed. Oh, the way she screamed! I heard her all the way from...in front of the shed. heh!"
