The other day I wasted

an hour and a half trying to drink booze from a trick bottle. 

All I wanted was to get wasted, and

the hash dealer was out of corned beef, so I visited skid row .

Not only did

I get skidded,,I also got slummed.

Always keep your "38" with you,,It might

be the perfect complement to your "45" malt beverage. 

Of course, there are always those who say, "Don't drink and plink," but

most of them don't know how to play "cowboys and indians",,,with live ammo.

Riley Puckett played old timey banjo when

OM45GE - Posted - 04/21/2015:  06:03:09

he was a lad but he gave it up when he got older.

He said it wasn't the sort of thing

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/21/2015:  08:53:21

a self-respecting Puckett would be engaged in, so he started a relationship with a Martin.

Things went downhill

banjoscotty - Posted - 04/21/2015:  09:51:03

untill he hit the bottom.

Then he realized he had to climb the hill again so he

OM45GE - Posted - 04/21/2015:  18:23:52

hitched a ride with a cute brunette in a Ferrari. 

She told him she wanted to

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/22/2015:  00:35:11

to learn the Flatt G-run, thinking it was a motor speedway manouever.

With a flathead Ford

a couple of 2 barrels,mallory ignition,a 3/4 cam,and a 4-11 rear end,,
we blasted off down the strip.

Then she said; OH,,let me drive and I'll

OM45GE - Posted - 04/22/2015:  07:50:42

show you how it's done. 

I was afraid

banjoscotty - Posted - 04/22/2015:  10:30:01

she was going to rip second gear out but she drove that rod like a pro.

When we got to the DQ,she wanted a chocolate malt but

OM45GE - Posted - 04/22/2015:  16:02:59

I convinced her that she would like a milk shake better.

Unfortunately, when she tried the milk shake

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/22/2015:  16:42:46

she was transported mysteriously back to 1954 , with saddle shoes and bobby sox ,watching the Sox and the Splendid Splinter.

How she

banjoscotty - Posted - 04/22/2015:  17:39:47

got back to the present time I don't know.

But she was riding an old Schwinn bike that

jistgreg - Posted - 04/22/2015:  19:44:01

had a flux capacitor on the rear luggage rack and, on the handlebars, a speedometer that went up to 88 miles per hour. 

She was moaning, "Oh, Emmett!" and 

OM45GE - Posted - 04/23/2015:  03:09:04

looking at me with a quizzical expression and no small amount of surprise.

I'm not sure what

banjoscotty - Posted - 04/23/2015:  05:47:30

happened while she was gone.

The basketball we were using had

jistgreg - Posted - 04/23/2015:  07:55:19

no hole for the air pump nozzle and was underinflated. 

That made it easier to grip one-handed, but 

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/23/2015:  10:04:13

the dang thing wouldn't bounce any higher than a foot, which resulted in many a strained back.

Straining forward,however,

banjoscotty - Posted - 04/24/2015:  03:18:06

we managed to get the coach's attention.

Like all basketball coaches,he started cussing us so we

OM45GE - Posted - 04/24/2015:  05:19:54

tied him up with his whistle lanyard and wrapped him tightly in the trainers tape.

He looked like

jistgreg - Posted - 04/25/2015:  01:24:09

a mummy (what else?) -- a mummy with a whistle. 

We called him King Toot, which 

OM45GE - Posted - 04/25/2015:  05:25:11

was doubly appropriate because he was also extremely flatulent. 

In fact, he was able to

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/25/2015:  11:36:43

wipe out the whole bench and the first 6 rows of spectators.

The opposition

OM45GE - Posted - 04/25/2015:  13:15:21

cried foul but the referee wasn't sure if they were asking for a penalty or commenting on the scent. 

he decided to let it pass

banjoscotty - Posted - 04/26/2015:  16:15:27

then came the foul scent.

everyone vacated the auditorium

gasping for air and demanding a refund from the harried ticket taker.

His reading voice was so mellifluous that the crowd was enthralled and asked him to

run for mayor in next election.

But he took his motorcycle and joined Evil Kanevil,, only to find out

chuckv97 - Posted - 04/27/2015:  08:22:32

that the Snake River Canyon was a death trap.

Only a fool

in an old abandoned log cabin in Tennessee.

I put new strings on it and

I may give up motorcycle jumping and

jump up on every stage in the nation, wowing the adoring masses with my musical pyrotechnics.
