A very nice bellman checked me into my room last night when I arrived in Newark:
But then we got to my room, he was just standin there and says, he says: "Wha...no tip....? I oughtaa bust your face right now...." He gets real agitated and leaves.
So, at around 5 am, this morningI am sleeping in my hotel room in Joisey. I aint boderin' nobawdee and I gets this cawl from this lady:
Her voice is annoying, it boders me. She identifies herself as Carmellahhhh S. I asks her what the "S" stands for, and she says through that crow voice: "I'll ask the questions." Den she says, she says, "My husband heard about your little marathon fundraising." I says yeah, yeah...dats right. She tells me to down to the lobby and go around the corner and I'll meet a friend of her husband Andony. So, I goes downdairs and I go around the corner and run into this guy: 
He tells me to "to come ova heh." And he says, he says..."How's yuh chins." "Chins?" I say thinking, my double chin is not that bad is it? He says: yeah, yeah, yuh know, those tings right over your feet. I says: "Shins!" He says: Whateva..." He says: "Go run some more and meet my friend in the park. I do as he says and pass a diner with these words on the marquee: JOHNNY CAKES....
So I reach the park and run into this guy:
He says: "Yeah, Tony wants to make a "condrabution..." I ask him for details, and he gets in my face and he says, he says: "I'll ask the questions....yew." Have I seen this guy before? I asks him...and he scrunches his lips and says: "Meadowlands, 1999, Springsteen concert....I was there." I says: So was I!" And he says: "Hey no kiddin..." He tells me to move along and keep running. I said what do I look for? He just says: "Janice." I keep running and run into this lady: 
I says,I says: "Yew, Janice?" She starts going crazy and tries to beat me up. She says: "I'll ask the questions. You, you keep ya mouth shut." I ask her about Tony, and she says, she says "Go ask Junior." "Who's Junior? "I asks. She punches me on the arm and says, she says,what did I say about questions?" She has this huge Rolling Stones Tatoo.
She points to a building far away. I run there and dis guy is waiting there: 
He seems really happy to see me! He exclaims: "Antony!, Antony!" I says, I says: "Yeah, yeah, that is who I am looking for." He just looks at me and mutters: "Gatsada Maranga!" I has no idea what he's talking about. And then dis guy walks in:
He seems very nice. He apologizes for Junior's behavyah. He asks me what I want, and I says, I says: "Some lady culled me dis morning and says, she says that "Tony S. wants to give me some money for my maratron training." He says, he says: "Oh yeah....Tone's waiting out there," He points to a white Escalade. I says "Tanks."
I walk out across a beatuful green lawn and this lady talking to herself:
She's saying like: "It is a great day to be alive!" She looks like she has the life sucked out of huh, if you ask me.
I pass a couple truly in love. The man has a scowl on his face and is dressed in orange. 
So I approach da vehicle and I get in. Tony is breathing hard. 
He looks at me and smiles. He says, he says: "So I hear you're runnin in a maratron. " I says, "yeah, yeah, dats right." He looks at me and asks "how long did it take you to get here?" I says, I says: "45 minutes, sir." He asks: "How long you been trainin?" I says, I says: "5 and a half weeks sir." He asks: "So da procetes, they go to help victims of Aids?" I says, I says: "Yeah." He says: "Dats a gute cause." Let me tink about it." I tell him I did not run for 45 minutes to hear dat. He hands me a white envelope of cash, and says, he says: "Gud luck. No get out my cah."
I says: TANKS" He says: "Forgedahbowdit."
