As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
So the story went like this around the feed store.
Old Steve has a family farm that is buffered by the Catholic cemetery and then you have the town, which is filled like most towns with refuse that can not make it in the country.
So Old Steve's brother had a fuel tank on the place and the children of the town thought it was their gas to take. It got to the point that a 300 gallon tank was half empty. It did not help that the grandson was out helping himself, and when Old Steve drove up, the kid for some ass brain reason panicked, drove off and pulled the gas hose and nozzle along, as he had it stuck in the tank yet.
I mean Old Steve knew who the hell it was. It was not like he was not going to catch the kid when he drove off. In fact he called his brother, told him what happened and the brother called the kid up and made him come out and thrashed the kid in the kitchen.
This story involves the brother in dealing with the other gas crooks, as gas is being drained from vehicles in parking lots now with these high prices. Hospital parking lots in fact.
So it is dark. Everyone has yard lights in the Brier to see who you are getting visited by. So the brother sees the kids stealing gas, goes out onto the porch, cocks his pistol, and lets off into the air a few rounds, as you don't want to shoot at gas tanks as they might explode and you do not waste gas.
He yells after the shots, "I'll get you, you sons of bitches"
At this point, there is crashing as kids are running through the trees trying to impale themselves on trees and they are screaming, "Jesus Christ! He is shooting at us!"
I do not believe they were praying to Jesus, as they did not seem the Catholic religion type as confession to the padre was enough.
That ended the gas stealing problems.
It would seem if the whining children had told their woke parents and the law had appeared, that the statement would have been ,"I just it some firecrackers off and if you were doing your Goddamn job instead of bothering me, I would not be out the gas and firecrackers".
Who knew that guns not only saved lives, but they also were quite Green in lessening carbon fuel emissions in less fuel burned in stolen gas.
Nuff Said
