No time, I do the cooking too.

I've only known of one real person named Cletus, but he sure fit the stereotype. Many years ago, I was a manager for a fast food chain, and briefly had an employee who was an 18-19 year old girl, married to a worthless unemployed drunk who was several years older (and threatened to kill her if she left him). Due to lack of money, they were living in a shed in one their relatives' back yard -- without heat in the winter, in Northern Virginia. And the deadbeat husband's name was Cletus.

This is from Greene county, setting for the X Files episode "Home," about the inbred family.

I knew a 'Hermel'....raised 6 kids in a 10 x 40 trailer home.

Worked 4 days a week in the steel mills in Gary, stayed incoherently drunk the other 3. But he'd have given someone the dirty shirt right off his back, if they needed it.

You do have that backwards of course. We're the Capital City of all of Appalchia. :-)

Now he can have all the clean dishes that he wants and them some. :):):)

[xsmommy]

HUSH! don't you dare admit that out in the public like that!! ; )

"Was ordered to stand trial on criminal homicide..."

Poor guy. I guess he couldn't convince the judge that this was just a case of innocent homicide.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

He can do the dishes in the mess hall and than go back to the cell and toss his cell-mates salad.

I fish where Cherry Run Meets Crooked creek (3 mi. from Kittanning). Like the deliverance back there! Hehehehe

[processing please hold]

You know there is something to be said for paper plates. You never have to kill your wife for not doing the dishes.

We have been eating out of paper plates for a week, and if I have my way, we'll still be eating out of them a month from now. I'm through with washing dishes for the time being.

[blackie]

I'll take your word for it ~ I've never been incarcerated. :)

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

I have never been incarcerated either, but I was a NJ State Correction's Officer. (prison guard)

[blackie]

Same thing. :):):)

(except you get to home when your shift is over)

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Thats true!!

[blackie]

That sounds like a tough job, especially for a woman ~ not so much physically but you need a thick skin as PC probably isn't practiced my inmates. :)

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

It can be tough physically. I was working in a men's prison. I had to jump in and break up fights more than once.

PC is not practiced. I have probably A) Been called it all, B)Heard it all or C)Said it all.

Thus I am not easily offended, or shocked by the "F" bomb.

[blackie]

I love the "F" bomb ~ been using it for years. I think it's the hard "K"! :)
