IJMC - The Hills of Virginia

More like, "only in the hills of va" (love ya Calico...). Quick apology 
for last night's mishap in the post, I kinda messed up part of my 
scripting and as I mentioned, I was a bit tired at the time and accepted 
the final result before noticing what I had done. C'est la vie. Enjoy 
the story about little Tommy, I've got to go find a henhouse.      -dave




   The story takes place about 1915, in the hills of Va.  It seems that
little Tommy missed 3 days of school and his teacher Mrs. Brown wanted to
know why Tommy was abscent.  Tommy told her it was because his Daddy sleeps
naked.  The teacher was schocked and said that Tommy had to stay in at
recess until he told her why he was out.  Well at the end of the day, Tommy
was sticking to his story that he was out because his dad slept naked.
Finally, at about 5 in the afternoon, Mrs. Brown had ENOUGH. So she asked
Tommy why was he out because his Daddy slept naked.
 " Well," he started, " We was all in bed and at about 1 in the morning Dad
heard some noise in the chicken Coop. He crept down the back stairs and got
his shotgun and went out on the porch.  Bess, the Pointer, got up and
followed him.  Well sure enough there was a fox in the hen house and Daddy
used the barrel of the gun to barely open the door to the hen house.  He
raised the gun and just as he took aim and pulled the trigger, Bess Cold
nosed him and I've been plucking chickens for 3 days."  With that Tommy went
home and Mrs. Brown never again asked why a student was absent.
