Saying

There is a great deal of difference between the eager man who wants to read a book, and the tired man who wants a book to read.

Hillbilly Farmer Print E-mail
Sunday, 13 March 2005

A hillbilly farmer from back in the hills walked twelve miles, one way, to the general store.

"Heya, Wilbur," said Sam, the store owner. "tell me, are you and Myrtle still making fires up there by rubbing stones and flint together?"

"You betcha, Sam. Ain't no 'tother way. Why?"

"Got something to show you. Something to make fire. It's called a 'match'."

"'Match'? Never heard of it."

"Watch this. If you want a fire you just do this," Sam says, taking a match and striking it on his pants."

"Huh. Well, that's something, but that ain't for me, Sam."

"Well, why not?"

"I can't be walking twelve miles every time I want a fire and borrow your pants."
