Come on out folks and meet Elmer I will not have a booth but I would not miss this event for love nor money. I want to see all the Hunlitized booths which will be plastered right at the front door. Those jack asses have to be right at the front, as they couldn’t find there way out of a paper poke with a neon sign stating “EXIT HERE”. Come out and bring the kids and pick up on some useless free stuff. Like bandaids, nail files, plastic cups, frisbee’s, candy, balloons, pies, cakes and home baked goodies. The defunct chair of the party will supply baked goods and Craig will hand out Exlax and samples of Murphy Soap. Has anyone else received calls from Craig’s old Pap, begging for support for his poor old latch key child that is risking loosing the hold on the County tit? We were just talking about this Saturday at Hardee’s, that old man is pitiful, he actually thinks his son has done no wrong. I did hear that the trustee’s office has been so busy this week making bags of Lucky Charms cereal to hand out at his booth. The Butter and Egg man will feature Maggie Mayfield out in the parking lot to give free milk straight from the cow, those folks are a professional at milking the County, so come out and see the show, fireworks will be optional, as I am sure some of the candidates have a severe case of the red ass, the blow torch has a fresh tank of fuel, good luck and I will see you all there.
