Snips... ;-)What city are you really in? Jim Bramel wrote about funny jokes made about the great Commonwealth of Kentucky. Yes we have had quite a few jokes about our part of the country. I say our part of the country, because I live in Indiana so close that a few more steps and I would be into the Ohio River. Several of us have been talking about Lou-a-vull, Ky. Thought this might need a brief explanation. I love the way out of town people pronounce the names of the cities they are visiting, for example Louisville, Ky as "Louis-ville", "Louie-ville", the natives know it as "Lou-a-vull". New Orleans, La., as "New-or-leens, those that live there, Nah-lens. My oldest son lives close to Norfolk, Va. Those that don't know call it "Nor-folk", down there they call it "Nah-folk". If anyone else has one, let's git-r-posted. Now what does all this dribble have to do with Old Tools? Everything! If I want to scratch around in your neck of the woods for old junk I had better talk like a native, or that slick dealer will recognize me for what I am, an out of Towner. Now for an explanation of why I consider myself an honorary Kentuckian, even though I live in Indiana. My two sisters were both born in Indiana, but when I came along, the Indiana doctor died. My Mother got another doctor in Lou-a-vull, Ky. One night, when time was right, my Daddy dropped my Mother off at a Lou-a-vull hosp. and then proceeds to go back home. (bless his heart) A Nun took my Mother up on the elevator, only to stop between the 1st and 2nd floors and I was born in the elevator. Stayed three days at the hosp. and then went back to Indiana. I guess that explains why my life has had so many ups and downs. Bob Sturgeon. (PS-One of the nicest "Ups" is coming next month, a great grand baby, a little girl) You think I should go ahead and start her tool box? |
