the Patch

[Gladman]

Bubba and Billy Bob were out doing their usual thing one fine Saturday, riding around in Bubba's old truck, listening to Hank Williams and drinking beer. They had just finished a cold one and thrown the empties out the window into the bed of the truck. Suddenly Billy Bob said, "Lord a'mighty Bubba, thar's a road block up ahead and we been drinkin' beer! What we gonna do?"

Bubba slowed down to have a good look hisself and said, "Don't cha worry, Billy Bob, I'll figure somethin' out." So Bubba scratched his head and thought a minute. Suddenly he said, "Billy Bob, grab me a couple of those empties back thar."

So, Billy Bob, not one to question Bubba, handed him the bottles.

Bubba ripped off the labels, licked them, stuck one on his forehead and told Billy Bob to do the same.

Bubba drove on down to the road block.

Sheriff Johnson was not one to mess with and knew both boys pretty well. He sauntered over to the truck and said, "Afternoon boys, what y'all been up to today? Been doing a little drinkin'?"

Bubba stuck his head out the window and said, " No sir, Sheriff Johnson, pointing to his forehead...Me and Billy Bob's on the patch!!!"
