:28:02
Don't forget your money.
:28:05
_ Thank you.
_ Drop in any time.
:28:12
I wish I could tell you that you owed
me a hundred dollars, but you don't.
:28:17
She came in here one day
with a big grey horse to sell.
:28:21
She said,
"Henry, go get your grey horse."
:28:24
They made as pretty a team
as you'd ever see.
:28:28
So I said, "What's your price, Katie?"
She said, "One funeral."
:28:32
And I said, "Whose?"
:28:36
She said, "Mine."
That's the way it was.
:28:38
Is that the same grey horse
that Bud stole?
:28:42
You heard about that? We rigged that
up to scare Bud into going to college.
:28:48
I put that horse in her barn,
and I come back later, yelling,
:28:52
her screaming back at me
like she meant it.
:28:56
She was a wise one, your ma.
:28:59
And my dad,
:29:01
you buried him, too, didn't you, Henry?
:29:06
Yeah, high_spirited he was. And he
wasn't a man to back down to anyone.
:29:12
I remember when he was challenged
by old Thad to a duel.
:29:15
Your daddy
had the choice of weapons,
:29:18
and it being the Fourth of July, says
Bass, "I choose Roman candles."
:29:25
Well, sir,
they stepped off the ten paces,
:29:28
Iit the Roman candles,
then they started popping.
:29:31
Thad dark as thunder, Bass laughing,
those balls of fire bouncing off him,
:29:37
him laughing so hard
he was missing Thad by six feet.
:29:40
Finally, one of those balls of fire
landed in your daddy's pants.
:29:45
He grabbed his bottom, ran for
the watering trough, sat down in it.
:29:53
It was the funniest duel I ever saw!
:29:56
I declare it was.
:29:58
How did he die, Henry?
