“The Gospel Truth, more or less.” Justin Other Smith
Back a long, long time ago when my granddaddy wuz a boy, country boys had a game where they’d fling dried cowpies at one another.
That was a pop’lar game in west Texas where it don’t hardly ever rain ‘n they’s an abundance of cowpies.
It rained in west Texas, so I been told, at or around the time of Noah’s flood ‘n there wuz this old Baptist preacher who walked out on the prairie to get down on his knees ‘n thank the Lord for the shower.
When he knelt down, he did so in a freshly wet cowpie which frustrated him no end. Being a Baptist preacher means you ain’t allowed to swear, ‘specially at your maker which is why the Baptists invented euphemisms in the first place. Anyways, he stood up, shook his fist at the Lord ‘n shouted out “Ah Frisbee!”
Will Rogers had some good advice that’ud work for Pres. Obama t’day when he said, “If you’re ridin’ ahead o’ the herd, take a look back now ‘n then t’make sure it’s still there.”
