Part Two
Tall Ones
Growing up in Central Illinois during the Forties and Fifties, storytelling was a big part of the Midwest entertainment. Small town characters often vied for the first to tell a good story or a great line.
Tall Ones are not told to be believed, they are told to entertain, such as:
"Damn, Hubert, that truck of yours looks like it was drove through hog slop.”
“Yeah, I know, told my wife to wash it. But you know, ever since she got pregnant can’t get her to do a dang thing.”

You know what an elephant keeps in his trunk? Six feet of snot.
