If I had know there were going to be mens there, I might have come.<BR/><BR/>Since, however, I am not going to be there, I'll contribute a "Why I Love Life in the South" story.<BR/><BR/>As you know, my house is right downtown, and it abuts the historic cemetery. In fact, to leave the house in a car, one has to drive through the cemetery.<BR/>As I rolled out of the back yard this afternoon, I passed a very elegantly dressed older lady standing near the graveyard gates . She was carrying a broom, and was clearly distressed.<BR/>I stopped, and she said, clasping her heart.. "Are those gunshots I hear?"<BR/><BR/>"Why yes, ma'am", I answered. "That's Reverend Smith. He's shooting squirrels. But don't worry.. he's a crack shot, and he just shoots straight up into the trees."<BR/><BR/>I, too, have a permit to shoot squirrels on my property. In the center of town. The Rev uses a 22 long, I think. But I use a 9mm semi- automatic. When fox urine doesn't work, that is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
