Page 32 of Memphis

I got my ass kicked, but I put up a good fight.

Toni:

Wow.

Me:

Your turn.

Toni:

Wait-They call you Memphis?

Me:

They do.

Toni:

But why?

Me:

It started with the back and forth I had to do as a kid.

But the guys will tell you that it’s because that’s where I was

conceived.

Toni:

Okay then.

Either way, I like it. It kind of suits you.

Me:

It’s grown on me.

Now, quit stalling and let’s see what you got.

Toni-

Okay-

I was named after my Uncle Antonio.

I’ve never ridden a motorcycle.

When I was a kid, my nickname was Pudge.

Me:

Pudge?

Toni:

I was a little thick around the middle.
