Finally Out of Jail
Well that there family reunion will probably go down as the wildest Judd family reunion ever. God damn that Brody forgot to come but I guess those Pagels are nothin' but dirty bastards anyway. Probably afraid I was a 'gonna beat him in the race. Well it didn't quite get that far anyway.
Old Uncle Roy Judd done got himself some kind of cancer of the lung we're guessin'. He ain't goin' to no doctor none, figure they'll just tell him to quit smokin'. So this looks like it might end up bein' old Roy's last reunion. Boy he may be dyin' but he's old for a Judd at 46 years old. My old man didn't make it past 38 none.
Well anyway, back to that there reunion. We was gettin' pretty drunk 'round the time we ate. I done set my smokes down on a picnic table so I could shoot at the old pickup in the yard. Then I went to go grab myself another smoke and they were gone.
Well last time somebody stole my smokes I ended up in jail. This time wasn't no different, as I found old Uncle Roy ran out of smokes himself and stole mine. So I pretty well went over there and beat up Uncle Roy with a steel fence post. Then what do ya know, his fuckin' daughter called the sheriff and then that got everybody mad because we was tryin' not to get the sheriff called this year. Well I got hauled in for assault and battery with a weapon and a couple other cousins got hauled in for disorderly conduct.
My cousin Elmer Judd done came and bailed me out and at least somebody brought my pickup and a bottle of whiskey for me when I got out. Had to get some racin' in back at the reunion. And I lost my buzz when I went to jail so I had to hit that whiskey pretty damn hard to get into drivin' condition.
Uncle Roy had to go to the hospital. Figure he's gonna die soon anyway, I'm just helpin' him along some.
I ended up gettin' into a second bottle of whiskey while I was drivin' around warmin' up my pickup for the race. Well I wasn't drivin' too straight. I figure my taxes pay for both sides of the road so I'll damn well use both when I'm drunk. Besides, I didn't stall my pickup at all so I wasn't too drunk to drive. Well Sheriff Festus didn't think I was drivin' to good none.
He put on his fuckin' cherries and berries and I made a run for it in my pickup. Didn't make it too far after I hit Mertyn Kleist's mailbox and hit the culvert. Done blew out a tire. Got charged with drunk drivin' fourth offense and evadin' an officer or some bullshit like that. Them cocksuckers told me I'll be sittin' in the clink for a while but I figure I just won't show up to court and it ought to go away.
