Around the corner Quote by Massmurder
“If a man comes from around the corner after you get off a greyhound bus and has hay in his matted hair smelling like whiskey and asks you for two dollars for a bus ride home to see his kids, get away cause even if you give or don't he'll tell you the good lord told him you would double the quarter he'll pull out.”
