For a weddin’ present
Ledbetter gave his son
Amos two hundred dollars. Two weeks later he asked him,
“W’atcha
do with the money, son?”

“Ah bought me a wristwatch, Pappy!”
answered the boy.

“Yew dumb ignoramous!” yelled his father. “Yew
should ‘av bought
yoreself a rifle!”

“A rifle? What fer?”

“Suppos’n one day yew cum home and find some guy sleepin’ wid
yore
wife,” explained the older redneck.

“W’atcha gonna
do? Wake him up and ask him what time it is?”
