NEW POP QUIZ
IN THE OLD FIBER McGEE AND MOLLY RADIO SHOW WHAT WAS THE ANNOUNCER REAL NAME? HE ALSO PLAYED BIT PARTS ON THE SHOW!
I GOT UP THIS MORNING AND WENT RIGHT TO THE PHONE TO FIND THE BEST PRICE ON AN ALTERNATOR! WE FINALLY CALLED AND WENT TO OUR FRIENDLY WRECKING YARD IN DURANT, OK. R&D AUTO WRECKERS! THEY HAD JUST WHAT I SAID I NEEDED, HE EVEN TOOK IT OUT AND MATCHED IT TO THE ONE ON THE CAR! THE BEST PRICE I HAD FROM AUTO ZONE WAS $129.99, WE BOUGHT THIS ONE FOR $25.00 WITH A 30 DAY GUARANTEE!
KELLY GOT HOME AND HAD TALKED TO MIKE AND THEY DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR WHERE MIKE WORKS AFTER TEREX, THE SOD FARM. THEY COULD PULL IT IN THE SHOP OUT OF THE WEATHER.
WHEN THEY STARTED TO PULL THE ALTERNATOR KELLY NOTICED A BIG CHUNK OUT OF THE BELT TENSION PULLY AND THAT’S WHAT THE NOISE WAS, THE ALTRENATOR WAS FINE SO THEY LEFT IT ON THE CAR! WE’LL TAKE THE ONE WE BOUGHT AND HAVE IT SERVICED AT STARTRIGHT TO KEEP AS A SPARE! I ASSUME THE ALTERNATOR ON THE CAR HAS OVER 300,000 MILES ON IT SINCE IT LOOKS LIKE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT!
WE HAD RAIN MOST OF THE DAY AND THEN TONIGHT A BAND OF HEAVY SNOW AND SLEET MOVED IN FROM THE SOUTH. MOM TALKED TO TIM ABOUT 6:30 AND HE WAS TAKING THE DOG FOR ITS DAILY WALK AND SAID IT WAS SNOWING LIKE THE DEVIL IN PLANO AND LOOKED LIKE IT WAS MOVING OUR WAY, HE WAS RIGHT!
WE’RE SUPPOSED TO GET 2-5 INCHES OVER NIGHT AND POSSIBLY ANOTHER 3-5 INCHES TOMORROW. I HAD TO GO OUT AND SWEEP OFF THE SATILITE DISH, WE LOST THE PICTURE AND THAT’S WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. AT THAT TIME WE ALREADY HAD ABOUT 2 INCHES ON THE UNCOVERED PART OF THE DECK!
THANK GOD WE DON’T HAVE ANY PLACE TO GO TOMORROW, I DON’T MIND DRIVING IN SNOW BUT SINCE WE GOT ALL THE RAIN AND THE TEMP STARTED DROPPING THE SNOW IS FALLING ON ICE AND THAT’S NO GOOD, NO, I DON’T RUN CHAINS!
I HAVEN’T FOUND THE CONTINUATION OF THOSE BIBLE STORIES I GAVE YOU YESTERDAY SO I’LL GIVE YOU THIS, I THINK IT’S PRETTY CUTE;
THIS STORY CONCERNS A NICE LITTLE OLD LADY WHO WAS A BIT OLD FASHIONED. SHE WAS PLANNING A WEEKS VACATION IN FLORIDA AT A PARTICULAR CAMPGROUND AND SHE WANTED TO MAKE SURE OF THE ACCOMIDATIONS FIRST. UPPERMOST IN HER MIND WAS THE TOILET FACILITIES, BUT SHE COULDN’T BRING HER SELF TO WRITE TOILET IN A LETTER.
AFTER CONSIDERABLE DELIBERATION SHE SETTLED ON “BATHROOM COMMODE”, BUT WHEN SHE REWROTE THE LETTER TO THE CAMPGROUND SHE REFERRED TO THE BATHROOM COMMODE AS THE “B.C.”
“DOES THE CAMPGROUND HAVE ITS’ OWN B.C.? IS WHAT SHE WROTE.”
THE CAMPGROUND OWNER WAS BAFFLED BY THE EUPHEMISM, SO HE SHOWED THE LETTER TO SEVERAL CAMPERS, BUT THEY COULDN’T DECIPHER IT EITHER.
FINALLY THE CAMPGROUND OWNER FIGURED SHE MUST BE REFERRING TO THE LOCATION OF THE LOCAL BAPTIST CHURCH, SO HE SAT DOWN AND WROTE:
“DEAR MADAM; I REGRET VERYMUCH THE DELAY IN ANSWERING YOUR LETTER, BUT I NOW TAKE THE PLEASURE OF INFORMING YOU THAT A B.C. IS LOCATED NINE MILES NORTH OF THE CAMPGROUND, AND IS CAPABLE OF SEATING 250 PEOPLE AT ONE TIME. I MUST ADMIT IT IS QUITE A DISTANCE AWAY IF YOU’RE IN THE HABIT OF GOING REGULARLY BUT NO DOUBT YOU’LL BE PLEASED TO KNOW THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE TAKE THEIR LUNCHES ALONG AND MAKE A DAY OF IT. THEY USUALLY ARRIVE EARLY AND STAY LATE. THE LAST TIME MY WIFE AND I WENT WAS SIX YEARS AGO AND IT WAS SO CROWDED WE HAD TO STAND UP THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE. IT MIGHT INTEREST YOU TO KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW THERE IS A SUPPER PLANNED TO RAISE MONEY TO BUY MORE SEATS. THEY’RE GOING TO HOLD IT IN THE BASEMENT OF THE B.C.!”
“I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IT PAINS ME VERY MUCH NOT TO BE ABLE TO GO MORE REGULARLY, BUT IT IS SURELY NO LACK OF DESIRE ON MY PART. AS WE GET OLDER, IT SEEMS TO BE MORE OF AN EFFORT, PARTICULARLY IN COLD WEATHER.”
“IF YOU DO DECIDE TO COME DOWN TO OUR CAMPGROUND, PERHAPS I COULD GO ALONG WITH YOU THE FIRST TIME, SIT WITH YOU AND INTRODUCE YOU TO ALL THE FOLKS. REMEMBER, THIS IS A FRIENDLY COMMUNITY.”
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
