the first pass at it he took the skin of

Just like these internal places,
Bolton erowled. Anything you've got
to eat is blistering hot, while coffee is
always stone cold.'
"After awhile Bolton took some more
hash and burned his tongue again.
Holy Moses he said, what's got
into that hash?'
Il told him nobody was expected to
know anything about restaurant hash,
especially the fellow who was eating it,
but he wasn't satisfied.
"Well, we kept on eating hash until
we had enough. And do you know that
hash left in the dish was hotter than it
was at the startp
