to do with growing the pumpkins, but the decorating
idea, she gets ail the credit.
Sherm Beats The Rap:
A Truth Bench' Fable
Ever since we came to Cooleemee, folks have
been telling me about the "Truth Bench" at the
hardware. Marfene and Cttngman say it's against
the rules (there to tall a Ue whole sitting on the
bench.
Weil, Sherm Shoaf sat iti£*t there on the Truth '
Bench test week and told a story that makes me
wonder.
Shenn said he was driving a truck load of
birds through Georgia when he came to a weight
station. He knew he was overweight by 5,000 pounds
and he figured he was going to get a ticket.
What he did, Uhougi, was stop the truck/ get
out and beat the rear end with a stick. TOiat made
all the bints fly around back there. Lo and behold,
when they weighed his truck, it was 5,000 pounds
underweight!
So he says.
That may be the truth, but it sounds more
like One of my alibis when my wife catches me
tippy-toeing from "work" late at night. (Who says
sweating out a flush isn't work?)
