"When Fast Food was a Rabbit" is the autobiography of "the old geezer", Raymond C. Evans. Born into a large family in 1932, in the redwood country of Northern California, he worked hard for fifty years at all kinds of jobs, from logging the redwoods to building the Alaska Pipeline.
Laugh and learn with him as he grows from a country hillbilly to a wise old geezer.
Excerpt from page 42 (arrival in New York City);
"Back into the bus station I went, duffel bag in hand--very confident that I now knew how to get out of town--wrong! Oh, I found the right bus to get on alright--I just couldn't get to it. They had coin-operated gates, you see, and I couldn't figure out why they wouldn't work for me. I tried nickels, dimes, quarters and fifty cents pieces, nothing would work. By this time I would have tried a silver dollar if I had one. Finally I was rescued by a little old lady (Who must have been a Girl Scout). She said, "Son, you'll have to buy tokens over at the token booth for that." I guess if that little old lady hadn't come along I would have starved to death right there, along side of my duffel bag, and my bleached bones would probably still be there in a neat little pile."
