"...The next morning, it was a Monday morning. My momma told me to get on the scoo bus and tell aaall a my friends that we's gonna have a rat killin saturday. I got on the scoo bus and I said we're gonna have a rat killin saturday. Them folks come from aaall over the county with they dogs and they sticks, to help us kill them rats. One day we worked our way to the far corner and there's just a whole bunch of them rats flushed outta that corncrib at the same time.

I am told if we can get that A model car cranked yonder, and back it up to that concrete slab and put that inner tube around the zaust pipe and run the other end of that inner tube down under that concrete slab and get that truck cranked and go to racin that motor.

Now that is some fun." Just had to put that up. The gopher thing brought it to mind. A little Jerry Clower humor to lighten the post. God bless. --old fashioned farmer
