"OOOOOOWW! Stop! Stop! Stop!"
"QUIT SQUIRMIN''!"
The tiny needle penetrated the man's soft earlobe, and went into a potato, bringing him to tears.
"Listen, Bud. I'm almost done. Be patient. Hey- you CRYIN'? Stop it! Just stop!" The large, burly man looked at the tall, thin, man in surprise and disgust. "I haven't even put the durn' thing in yet! Yur gonna be one sorry fella'. That's only the first hole!"
"NO! I'm done! I want OUT! Let me go!" He struggled and fought, but the large man won, pushing him deeper into the chair. "No refunds!", He grunted. "I'm gonna finish the job. Way it is now, you'll get an infection within a day, an' then you'll be in a world a hurt! Heck, if you're this yellow, why'd you even come here in the first place? Huh?"
The leggy blond man whimpered, shrugging. "Would you believe me, if I told you that I thought it would make me look tougher, and give me more courage?"
The stocky man raised one eyebrow, then snorted. "Well, now. I think I do believe you. That's one fine gun you got there, and I'd bet justa 'bout anything that you sure know how to shoot it. But you look like a lily-livered coward, if I ever seen one. Probably no-one pays you any respect. But lemme let you in on a little secret. Getting a little piece of silver in yur ear ain't gonna give you anymore spine."
And with a quick flick of the wrist, and years of practice, he shoved the needle in again.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"
