Credit The Old Fellow With Raising His Boy To Be The World's Best! DEAR MR. PUBLISHER. by PARSON JONES Dear Mr. Publisher: My wife is always telling me that I ought to get a little more cultured. Not being quite sure what that meant I look ed it up in the dictionary. One definition said, "tilled, as soil". Not being dead and buried yet, I figured that didn't apply to me. The other definition said, "trained in good taste". I reckon that's what my wife meant. Personally, I always thought I had good taste, cause my mama taught me to eat anything. My wife said "cultured" meant being able to enjoy the finer things of life - like good music. To make a long story short, the madam took me to a high class musical show the other night -to fill the empty spot in my life. Well isr, odd as it may sound coming horn one who says "ain't" instead of'lsn't", I almost enjoyed the thing I think I woulda gone hole hog if there hadn't been so much talking during the music. Mr. Publisher, there was so much mumbling and blabbing going on while them pore folks played that I thought folks were speaking in tongues. It's a shame to pay to hear some thing and then have to listen to blabber-mouths instead.Gome to think of it, it's getting harder and harder to hear some thing without interruption. I been pondering over this problem and have come to a conclusion. Modem folks have been "trained" on television, where people listen, watch, and talk at the same time. Lotsa times when I go visiting folks, we just talk over, around, and under the TV program. They make no effort to turn it of f. As I see it, people have got so use to listening and blabbing at the same time at home, that they do it everywhere they go. Now, sir, you know where the communication problem came from - the TV set. I've finally decided to wait for the ground before I get cultured. In the meantime, Iranain your ignorant friend. Parson Jones.
