Roy Rogers was cleaning the barn & took off his boots before he went into the house for breakfast. While he was inside, a mountain lion came along & ate the tops off Roy's new footwear. When he saw what had happened he jumped on Trigger and went after the animal. Later he rode home with the body of the animal slung over his saddloe. Dale Evans met him at the door. Sha sked, "Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"

In the town of Haifa, in Israel, a man named Joseph ran looting through the streets before he shot Mayor Newton of that town dead! The cops then killed him. Looking into his past history, all they could find out was that his mother had once lived in a convent in Barcelona, Spain and that Joseph had once worked on a farm. The caption under his picture in the newspaper said, "HAIFA LOOTIN', NEWTON SHOOTIN', SON OF A NUN FROM BACELONA, PART-TIME PLOWBOY, JOE!"

At the Rockford, Illinois Folk Festival a while ago, Ed Tricket was on stage and I yelled up too him to do the song about the guy who sells porno!! Ed was speechless. He said he didn't do any song like that. I answered, "Sure you do. It's Dave Goulder's song "January Man" that goes through the entire list of months in the year. At one point it mentions the PORNO VENDER MAN." (actually the poor November man)
