Lines from Guy Vanderhaeghe's short story "King Walsh" that made me laugh out loud

"Myra is Sonny's second wife and has a tight little mouth that looks like a cigarette burn on a plastic car seat cover."
"Ruby tried, after a fashion, to make herself attractive. Unfortunately her home dye jobs came out the colour of one of those creosote-treated railroad ties, a streaky, oily, rusty-black."
"'His father threatened to sue, didn't he? For chipping the kid's tooth?'
'Jesus, can you believe it? I'm supposed to pay for the milk he didn't buy the kid?'"
