Yeah, but the same evening, Chevalier said – Chevalier is a great straight man, you know – so Chevalier said, “Ah, Tom (Hughes), have you told Cay and Jerry about your edible beans processing plant?” I said, “What edible beans … edible beans?” Tom said, “Beans you can eat.” “Oh, OK. What plant?”
Tom said, “Long before anyone else in west-central Minnesota realized it, I realized the need for an edible beans processing plant, so I built one.”
“How’d you do on that, Tom?”, Chevalier says.
He said, “I lost a million, huh, dollars on that.”
I said, “You lost a million dollars?”
(Tom) “Yeah. That was good.”
(long pause)
“Did you ever tell Jer and Cay about your sugar beet processing plant?”, Chevalier says.
(Tom) “Long before anyone else in west-central Minnesota realized it, I realized the need for sugar beet processing plant in Swift County, so I built one.”
(Chevvy) “How’d you do on that?”
Cay was just nothing but eye balls.
(Chevvy) “How’d you do on that, Tom?”
“Lost a million and a half.”, he said.
“Lost a million and a half!”
And, so it went. It was fabulous.
