To the Editor:

This Town is Upside Down & Crazy.

I was out in the shop the other day when a young fellow knocked on the door, so I went and let him in. He started right in on me. He wanted to know if I had any old tin cans. Well, I informed him that no, I had several old plastic buckets. Well, anyhow, he said that he was going to pick the large rocks out of the sanding gravel on the highway. He said that he was going into business for himself. Then he showed me a small iron object which he said he was going to start to sell as it gave him a good way to save gasoline. Then he said he drove down hill everywhere he went!

Now it never fails. This one man was painting the outside of his house so that it would look good for the appraiser of his property. But the plaster and wallboard was all falling off of the inside walls. I think that he probably ate dusty corn flakes for breakfast.

Now, this one is really good. One of my neighbors had a new 4x4 pickup, with two rolling floor jacks under the rear axle housing, so that when he drove down the road, he wouldn't be wearing out all four tires. I guess he was smarter than the average bear - only bears don't know how to use a floor jack.

There was this person leaning against a power pole because he knew that electric heat kept him warm and as the electricity for his heating system came from the power pole then he must be saving on his electric bill!

The teacher at the school was teaching the scholars how to read and write with buttons that were smarter than he or the kids. Boy, could that machine get an A in spelling and writing!
