"Pa, you do remember one time telling us, having met Jean Lafitte when your ship were at the same harbour?"
"Yeah, when I was an apprentice seaman". "Yeah down in New Orleans". "Hmm". "Now let me ask you something, how old would he be now?" "Well according to the reports he died a long time ago". "Yeah, but that's according to the reports, now, if he's still alive, how will he be?" "Oh, well, I guess about 70". "70 huh, I'll tell you this about, Pa, he's over there in Roy Coffee's jail right now"..
