Billy Bob –South Pittsburg
My friend Billy Bob Johnson lived in South Pittsburg, Tennessee when he was a young whipper snapper. By our standards South Pittsburg Would be considered out in the sticks at that time, but they had a soda shop at the local drug store. That is where all the young people hung out.
Billy Bob was happy with his lot in life, they lived in a nice house in town, that even had inside plumbing.
Billy Bob’s dad worked at the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet Factory, everything in Billy’s life was perfect, He had Friends and his dad gave him an allowance.
One day disaster stuck, Billy Bob’s dad came home and declared “I’m sick of this city life, we are moving to a farm in Hazel Green, Alabama”. Poor ole Billy Bob was in shock as they loaded up and moved to Hazel Green, leaving his friends at the soda shop was devastating.
Upon arriving at Hazel Green Billy bod discovered that they didn’t have indoor plumbing but used an outhouse down by the creek. Billy had all kind of chore to do, but what he hated most was that outhouse.
One day Billy Bob was down by the creek, He didn’t see anyone around. Temptation got the best of Billy, he set off at a dead run and hit that outhouse up high and it tumbled into the creek. He thought he heard a scream but chalked it up to imagination.
Billy went home since it was supper time, but dad wasn’t there. They waited for about an hour, the door flew there stood dad soaked and wet steam coming from his ears. Billy Bob would never forget what dad said “GET TO THE WOOD SHED, BOY, I SAW YOU THROUGH A CRACK IN THE DOOR”. Poor old Billy Bob learned a hard lesson, YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT
