909ner G Lane - Synapse Trap
I took a bunch of little kids to a swanky country club where they only played croquet. We were all in our Easter Sunday best in the foyer waiting for a coat hanger rigged green to open up and I noticed sitting next to us was Dwight Yoakam and Marty Stuart. We all acted naturally until one of the little girls with me got sad and showed me the end of her mallet, which was missing a rubber cap. I was bummed too until I spotted that Dwight had a ziplock baggy full of rubber ends. I asked could we borrow one? “Sure, partner”, he said with a confident smile.

Not to be upstaged I guess, Marty Stuart started talking out loud to Dwight, “Yeah, people are always asking me for rubber mallet tips when I’m out on the street. Like, all the time!
But...uh...they’re just not doing it right now.”
 
I felt sorry for how much the guy just wanted to be as relevant as Dwight. But not for too long cause me & the kids got called to come out and play a round!
