Ever
since ol’ Windy began a career in radio, which is unusual for an old
hunting guide, cowboy, and camp cook, he’s been spending more time
thinking about things to say. His radio segment, called Windy’s
Words of Wisdom, has given him new purpose. |
Down at the sale barn the other day, he meandered
around until he had several of the guys semi-cornered. You see, the
only thing in life Windy Wilson can’t live without is an audience.
“Now Doc,” Windy said, “you watch teevee, right?”
“Of course.”
“So do I, and that’s why I’ve decided to spread out my
opportunistics and go into teevee. Promote the eddiflication, you
know.”
We looked at this pot-bellied bowlegged leprechaun of the valley.
“Yessir. I think the fantaculous world of teevee has been
suffragetting from a paucity in true … stuff. So I think I’ll do ‘er.”
“What … I mean, what would you do on teevee, Windy?”
“Commercials. Yessir. Do you know them guys who make commercialize
get money ever dang time one of them thingies is on teevee? Ever
time. That’s where the dinero is. Sellin’ stuff.”
“So what would you sell?” [to top of second
column] |
“Been givin’ that some thought.
Think I might sell tuxeders.”
“Tuxedos??!!”
“You betcha. Ya see, how I
figger it, I’ll go on teevee first dressed like this, then I’ll
change into the tuxeder and show them folks at home what a
difference them fancy clothes make on a real cowboy and
philosophater.”
“Windy, one thing I’ll have to give you,” Doc said, “Nobody would
dare miss one of those commercials of yours.”
