In the mountains of Tennessee there is a gaunt hillbilly who is still untouched by the complexities of modern economics. He depends on the nearby river and forest for his fish and meat, grows a few vegetables, and drinks spring water. A neighbor visited him recently and urged him to wise up, move to a city and get a job in a factory that was paying high wages.
"You ain't getting anywhere just staying here where you was born, doin' nothin'," the neighbor said.
"Ain't gettin' nowhere?" the hillbilly exclaimed. "I wouldn't say that! When my pappy died and left me, I didn't have nothin'. But look at me now. I got nine dogs!"
My Fellow Officers gave me the Name Father Michael after I saved 12 people from being blown up one dark cold night, and there was this 10-16 Love triangle with 2 women involved, and the women decided they liked one another better than the guy and he couldn't handle it :) Was a very interesting story :)
