(c.w. mccallbill frieschip davis) Me an' rj an' the kids was on a camp-out in the mountainsand we had us one'a them u-drive-'em army jeep cars which we rented from a fella by the name of kubozke for thirty bucks a daybuy you Along the waytake a rabbit's foot and leave a pint of blood for a dee-posit. And he 'splained it all to us how we was supposed to get to telluridewhich is fifty miles away by way of the regular highwayhoweverthere was a shortcut but unless we had drove the black be Ad beforewe'd better be off to staystay in bed and sleep late. (pay no attention to the gitar there.) Wellwe took up off'n the highway and we come upon a sign says "black bear road. you don't have to be crazy to drive this roadbut it helps." I says"rjthis must the shortcut Kubozke was talkin' about." she didn't pay no mind'cause she was makin' peanut butter sandwiches for the kids in the back seat throwin' rocks and drinkin' kool-aid and playin' count-the- Se-plates. but they wasn't havin' too much fun a-countin' license plate or cars'cause there weren't no other cars. We went about a mile-and-a-half in about four hoursbusted off the right front fendertore a hole in the oil pan on a rock as big as a hall closet. went over a bump and spilt the kool-aid and Ene stuck his bolo knife right through the convertible top and the dog threw up all over the back seat. peanut butter don't agree with himyou see. So we had to stop and take off the top and air everything out and clean it up. the dog run off and rj says she felt her asthma comin' on. I was sittin' there wonderin' what to do when the en-tir Nic san joo-wan u-drive-'em army jeep car sank in the mud. at thirteen thousand feet above sea level. Wellwe shoveled it out and ate our lunchthe dog made a yellow hole in the snow and roy gene got out his instamatic and took a snapshot of it. mary elizabeth drawed a picture of the road; it D like a whole bunch a' zs and ws all strung together. and rj took one look at it and said that the only way that jeep car is goin' down that road is over her dead body. then a rock slipped out Under the wheel and the u-drive-'em army jeep car went right over the edge of the cliff. yahoo-oo-oo-oo! "doggone-itroy gene! how many times do I have to 'splain it to you? when I tell you to put a rock under the wheelI mean rock! now look at thatwhat you have there is no bigger'n a grap T."
