That there's a good 'un! Shore kin get a man a-goin'. 'Minds me of the time that Rusty Jack up at the Legion Hovel tried ta dig a hole clean through ta China. After he got down about fifteen feet he was yellin' fer a ladder er a rope or somethin'. Billy the Cob tossed down a lariat with a hangman's noose in the end, which brought forth all sorts of cussin' from Rusty Jack. Finally, Floozy Flossie -- she who used to be famous as one of the Bobbsey Twins -- poured a gallon of stompin' whiskey down inta the hole and ol' Rusty Jack jist stood at the bottom with his mouth wide open. Billy saw what was goin' on and wanted some of the action, so he jumped right inta the hole with Rusty Jack! Billy, though, had a lot more to him than Rusty Jack and he stuck fast about seven feet down. We coulda got him out eventually, only when he stuck Billy realized that his direrear was gonna cut loose agin. Well, it did, and if you think that the first bunch of cussin' was bad, you shore didn't want ta hear Rusty Jack this time! Anyway, the direrear made Billy the Cob so danged skinny that he slipped right on down to the bottom of the hole, where Rusty Jack clobbered him with the shovel. Finally, Pinto figgered out how ta rescue 'em, and we filled the hole with water and floated 'em out. Rusty Jack still ain't talkin' ta Billy the Cob, except for things like "Gimme that whiskey."
