Ronnie Doup, a familiar fixture on the streets of Clayville for the past twenty years, is on a campaign to inform the public. "Read the label," he said. "Some cans got writing. Read the can. Smell my stick."
People tell his mother Minnie Doup that her son is a poster boy. "I don't know what they're talking about, but thanks to Dr. Howard, I know what 'well ventilated' means. My little Ronnie didn't, and now he sucks on sticks. Used to be logs."
Contributions to WHIFF (Whipping Hazardous Inhaled Fumes Fund) may be sent to Dr. Howard. Please make checks payable to WHIFF.
Clayville Comments...
Doup's parents were furniture refinishers and had cans of paint thinner, stripper, varnish, and shellac all over the place. Doup discovered sniffing at a young age. By ten years old, he couldn't match his socks.
People around Clayville said he was the one who broke into my classroom and stole the plastic recorders because they could "suck as well as they blow." That never really made sense until now.
