OK, that's it.
I read this latest in The Lawdog Files, and was delighted. I'm pretty new here, and I realized that I'd missed something big. I went and read a couple or six from links at Jim's site (Thanks!). Not a Bugs Bunny Shirt. Bubba on the Pool Table (thanks, LawMom!). Santa in the Warehouse. Pyracantha (Edit: whoops! I guess it's called The Drunk Armadillo). A few others, and finally the Snake Story. Somewhere in there, I submitted the post above, about the current story.
So I'll admit I was primed for it.
Then I read the first story of
The LawDog Files - The Definitive Collection found at:

Y'all need to know something. I'm 44 years old. I've read everything I could get my hands on from the time that my parents taught me to read in kindergarten. I still read all kinds of stuff, including the Mark Twain/PJ O'Rourke/Dave Barry flavor - the funniest around. In spite of this and my screen name, however, I'm a fairly calm, serious guy.
Then I got to the part where, lying in the bar ditch and picking out stickers, you heard the words,
"Ju brogd by dode."
And for the first time in my life, I fell out of my chair, out of breath, laughing.
This is good stuff.
