F:’.r be it from us to spread rumors, but vje have just heard one that is too good to
keep, although won't volch for its authenticity-the story goes that Miss Annie
Sue Hoyle, that delightful, de-lovabie little blond bundle of femininity vjas start
ing home from church the other night, -s/hen she \n-s approached by a very shy'teen-aged
youngster, v;ho having acfiess to his dad’s autonobilo and tx-o gallons of gas, asked
permission to take her homo,The night v;as ideal, the moon was shinning and this
youngster couldn't ask for rJiything'nearer heaven, then just to be sitting beside
Annie. He seemed to be so thrilled he couldn’t talk, so finally Annie asked "Bud,
can you drive T/ith pne handy Bud crjac quiclcly down to earth and replied", "Can I^Jhy
I’m the best left-hrnd driver in the—""Well, vjipe your nose," whe said,very icily,
"It needs attention".
According'to this yarn, a preacher v;as strrnded on a lonely country road, vdth a
flat tiro, having no extra (and who does) these days??He was having great difficulty
rem.oving the tire funra the rim, and it seems the harder he vrarked and sv/eated, the
more difficult the job becrjne. He wasn’t p;otting rny^ihore, v;hen a stranger drove up
and stopped, watching the preachers efforts with great dntrest- then the strrnger
suggested that if the preacher would just try' cussing, tho job would be imch easier.
But the preacher said "I don’t cuss, you know, but vdll be glad if you vdll help me
change the tire", The stranger'then took over and after ripping out a few ivords,en
tirely foreign to the preacher, the tire just almost fell off the rin and the changc
TJas effected in a' few minuets- The preacher was only huipan after a21 and his only
cornment was,"Well,I’11 be damned",
