“Who says we can’t make time stand still,”
said Uncle Tom to Uncle Sam.
“You’ve served us, man. Now, can we deal?”
“Just tell me what you need,” said Tom.

“Your coffee cold? Your toast still warm?
More scrambled eggs? Here, let me heat
your cup up, sir.” Sam smiled. “Mmm-mmm,
more sausage, Tom. More ham, more meat!”
