Ode To the Dive Bar

If you can't read it, it says: "Hard Boiled Eggs, 25 cents." This fine establishment, "Burt's," is in Bristol Borough, Pa. On any Monday night in this fine Steelers bar (Sorry Rosepenis, but it really is), one may here the following:
Red Headed, Toothless, Long Bearded, Patron:Yoa, did ya here they shut down African American day at the wharf?
Young, Overweight,, Female, Bartender: Oooh No, the NCAA's gonna get involved.

A bit of time passes, Patron gets his own 40oz. from the refrigerator, and Patron inquires about Joey, the resident cook.
Patron: Does Joey still cook?
Bar Tender: Oh yeah, he still hard boils eggs.
