Tina was now in tears, she didnt know what was to come next. Hearing all the commotion from the old timer, it drew a crowd closer to her. “Miss, a couple of the men around here just have no couth...”, said a gentleman, shaking his head. Then a woman spoke up looking around, “more than a couple i’d say!” Followed by laughter from all around. “And a couple hags”, shouted an elderly man. This too was welcomed by laugher. “Imma getcha back fer dat”, she playfully retorted. After a couple hoots subsided, the gentleman continued, “you see? We are here to have a good time, have a few laughs. And sure, have a few tears now and again.” “But... but my knife is busted up and im not even suppose to have it... so i was told”, she pleaded holding it out to the gentleman. Once he got the knife in hand, he examined it, “Oh that’s still a solid knife, its got a good snap and its a forum knife to boot!”, he cheerfully exclaimed. “You are here, aren’t you? Well, that in itself makes you deserving of such a fine knife”, he said in a reassuring voice. While looking around, he continued, “now, lets see.... we’ve several people here that are more than willing to get this knife as good as new.” “Ive got some covers available that would be most fitting on that knife”, came a lady’s voice from the crowd. “With covers ready, i can get them pinned and that wobble taken care of in a jiffy”, came a mans voice from the crowd. “Ill do the finishing”, cried someone else. The gentleman went on, “with all these fine people contributing, this will be more forum knife than ever”, proclaimed the gentleman.
