Perplexed

Vernon was just as surprised as anyone when he hauled off and clocked stupid Buddy right in the side of his stupid fat head. Buddy when over backwards with a crash, and Vernon busied himself picking up the bar stool and wondering what in the world to say to explain his actions (which still remained a mystery to him).

Up from the floor came a groan and Buddy’s breathless voice. “No man, no… It’s not like she says!”

Vernon was perplexed. Who’s she? he wondered.
