Mr. Ziphell: “Aw now ya gone and hurt his feelins’, he don’t think he’s a pig at all.’’

Mr. Douglas: “Well what does he think’’?
Mr. Ziphell: “He thinks he’s Lassie’’.

I really got a flashback to the Sixties there!

Now, I literally have not heard that song since probably 1967...seriously.

And as I read it, I wasn’t hearing what you wrote, I was hearing:

There’s a little hotel called “The Shady Rest’’ at the junction
PETTICOAT JUNCTION!
it is run by Kate come and be her guest at the Junction
PETTICOAT JUNCTION!
and there’s Uncle Joe he’s a movin’ kinda slow at the Junction’’.
PETTICOAT JUNCTION!

Hahahahaha...talk about a door not opened for a long, long time!

Thanks for that!
