Outwardly, you might come to think old Percy has painted hisself into a corner. What with Curdy invoking the nuclar option, she has done set herself on a course that is gonna force the issue of LeeAnn Pester’s lack of an air conditioner at the Golden Comb Beauty Emporium. Of course, Percy ain’t no rookie at this cause he’s seen the local women folk in action before and knows full well what sort of trouble can come from setting them off…
One of the funny things about living in a small town is the way folks get to know one another in close, personal ways. For instance, everyone knows full well that Earl Pepper was divorced by his former wife, Trisha May back in 1999. But if you was a resident of Possum Rot, you’d also be knowing that it was LeeAnn Pester what was Trisha May’s spiritual advisor. You see, back before LeeAnn took that correspondence course in hair cutting, she was like the local granny, dealing out advice and stirring every pot she could put her nose into. It ain’t no secret here that it was probably at LeeAnn’s coaxing that Trisha May run off with a transient named Harley Drinkwater. And after the divorce was final and old Harley come up missing, it was probably LeeAnn what told the law to look at Earl for answers. But it never came to nothing and Harley was eventually turned up down in a Mississippi cathouse while at home, Trisha May learned from Doc Purvis that she had made herself a home to a mess of crab lice, what no doubt were former pets of Harley Drinkwater. Now as you might imagine, Trisha May was mad at LeeAnn for fixin her up with Harley to begin with and baked her the ex-lax cake for her birthday… what kept her active for several days. LeeAnn responded by filling a hairspray bottle with Nair and sending it to Trisha May who was not seen in public for dern near 3 months!
After that, Trisha May moved to parts unknown and LeeAnn figured she had better cool her socks a bit so she took up barbering. It was bout this time that Curdy and LeeAnn got close and for Christmas of 2003, she had a portable building moved in behind LeeAnn’s trailer so she’d have someplace to practice her new trade and ever since that day, the Golden Comb’s only electrical connection as been from a number of extension cords what run to it from inside her house and go to smoking and sparking when the hairdryer is turned on. I suppose this may be why Percy don’t want to install the air conditioner without a better power connection but Curdy can’t quite get a good grip on this fact so I spect Percy may be thinking that fixing LeeAnn’s problems may be akin to fixing his own…
