I chewed tobacco when I was at least as young as 5 and spit it into a coke bottle.

I swam in a dirty creek where a dead cow lay rotting.

I lived in a small frame house that had maggots on the wood planks.

I burned my thigh on the radiator.

We roamed cornfields and swamps shooting birds with our BB guns and snakes.

My dog dragged up to the porch a deer, a beaver, a possum to show us what she caught.

We had sermons from a preacher on the sandy beach of the Blackwater river while the girls swam in one area and the boys swam in another.

Oh, and we watched farmers fight their pitbulls, down in Florida and Alabama.

I like it! Very good!

But maggots live in meat...not wood. Put the maggots in the cow rotting in the river and you have a winner.

Also, Southern houses don't have radiator heat. But our cars have them for cooling.
