A SHORT SHORT STORY'(CON’T FROM FAGE 4) t
i
, t j
He lit a musty old filter tipped dry j
tasting cigarette (you can tell I don’t;
smoke) and tried to figure out the situ-’
ation of his new red convert’. He just I
happened to look at the lazy grey mule |
when the mule opened its mouth and said, j
as it winked, ”1 told you twice.”- - -The \
trouble was in . the . carbureator”. Oh j
hearing this, he was off down the road i
like a cat that has smelt his tirst Dig •
wiff of turpentine# He didn't stop! •
running for almost a quarter of a milej
that was only because he saw an old far- j
mer coming from the barn carrying a lar- I
ge pail. (Whistling Dixie too.)
He ran into the barn yard screaming •
his ordeal at the top of his voice* It j
took a fresh cigarette and a cup of warm !
cows milk (thats/actually a pro-jectionj
on my part for fresh milk) to get him!
calmed down enough to where the farmerj
could understand him.. After listening!
the story told slowly, the farmer only j
smiled and said, "Shucks lister, did j
that old bugger have one flopped ear?"!
"Yes" replied the friend of mine, "I!
forgot about that part of him", "Shucks" |
said the farmer, "you can't bank on a!
word she says, 'sides she couldn't pos- ;
sibly know anything about cars# Lived [•
here on this farm all her life'.' (He ?
knew her) i
Well that's my story. Today I'm on!
my way over to see a friend.He has-"a new!
address now. I bought his new convert'. !
