One Undeserved Turn

Ronnie Ray had his big V-8 pickup truck about 3 weeks and it was a sweet dream, too, with 20-inch custom wheels, bed liner, killer steerio, 2-toned paint, and the pride of every mother-lovin' Southern boy's accessorizin', a heavy duty winch in front, and big-ass chromed, diamond-plate step bumper on the back.


Uncle Richie kinda fudged on the financin' to get Ronnie Ray into the thing cuzza Richie's sister Earleen (Ronnie Ray's mama, an' all), and that Ronnie Ray done hot-rodded it from Day One!


He stoopped kinda late and was way over the intersection line, yesterday, but the fellar behind him flashed brights, signallin' Ronnie Ray he could back up.


Well, the light turns green and Ronnie Ray stomps it, still in reverse, and plows dead into that nice fellar's car that had done him such a nice turn.


Ronnie Ray's insurance man 'bout fainted when he phoned it in, sayin' he'd put a major league hurt on the traumatic redesign of the front end on a Mercedes CL-63AMG.


Do you know that dang thing cost over $160,000, and Ronnie Ray 'bout shit when he finds it out, sayin', "You could buy a whole passel...mebbe a neightborhood o' trailer homes for that damn much money," and I know that's right!
