He used to go to church, we all had to go, and he to the early service at nine, the later being at eleven. They would keep the offering plates in the office on the desk between services, and he would ask permission to go in there and use the phone where he pretended to call his mom. Then if no one was looking, he would pocket some of the offerings. When he worked at the gas station he would pump gas when the boss wasn't there and put the money in his pocket. He would steal from the till because he knew the boss didn't check gross with gallons pumped.
I think it was our first carnival after we began hanging out in cars together on weekends. The first night we might have ridden the Ferris Wheel and the whip cars. Dicky got the idea that we should go to see the Naked Lady. It was a quarter to get in and inside there were about 30, mostly men but some teens seated on folding chairs and there was a stage. Of course we teens all looked like we were over 21 to the fare taker and we were probably proud of that fact. A woman came out and did a little dance to some recorded music, but did not get very naked, and then went back behind the curtain.
Of course we were quite disappointed. Then a man came out and gave a spiel, that for just one dollar she would take all her clothes off. This was already looking like a con, but Dicky wanted to stay. The rest of us couldn't afford the dollar and so Dicky offered to pay for the four of us.
