Well I still tell Rastus stories. Mainly because he was the town handy-man back home.....a white guy. Also the biggest fool around the little place. He once had a wallpaper steamer blow-up in the mid 50's and it burned down the house he was working on. He had decided to "punch up" the kerosene with a little white gas. His comment later was, "Shur got thet wallpaper off."

I was a bit older before I realized that calling someone a "Rastus" had racial significance.

Spaw (I realize that there's a good bit of ol' Rastus in Cletus, now that I think about it)
