Injury Discussion on the Sidewalk
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich Now, tell me, Mr. Cimoli. Exactly how did you break your hip?
Mr. Cimoli It's my pelvis.
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich All right, your pelvis. How did it happen?
Mr. Cimoli I was comin out this store, and there it was on the sidewalk.
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich What?
Mr. Cimoli This.
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich I see. And you were coming out of what store?
Mr. Cimoli Well, that was Nat's Delicatessen on Euclid Avenue.
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich Too bad.
Mr Cimoli Oh, such pain.
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich I mean, too bad it didn't happen further down the street in front of the May Company. From them, you can collect. Couldn't you have dragged yourself another 20 feet?
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich Hello? Speaking? O'Brien, Thompson, and Kincaid? Yes, what can I do for you? The Hinkle case? Oh, yes. I'm handling that. Well, I can't talk right now. I have an office full of people.
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich Suppose I come up to your place? Right.
Mr. Cimoli Say, how much you think my pelvis is worth?
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich By itself, nothing. So, it's a good thing you came to me. Before we're through with them, we'll have them begging for mercy.
Mr. Cimoli Well, who's "them"?
William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich That I haven't figured out yet. But don't go away. I'll think of an angle.
