• [an old convict and H.I. lying on their prison bunks, passing the time] 

  Ear-Bending Cellmate : ...and when there was no meat, we ate fowl and when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.

  H.I. : You ate what?

  Ear-Bending Cellmate : We ate sand.

  [pause] 

  H.I. : You ate SAND?

  Ear-Bending Cellmate : That's right!
