LMBO...I've actually witnessed the collection being taken up in Ky Fried Chicken buckets and two relative ladies...one put in a fiver and the other grabbed it back and said that is too much and then dug around in the bucket for change...if I'm lyin' I'm dyin'!!!

Yall come back now! Ya hear! :-)
Galvanized tub? :) Guess it's better than a bucket.
My grandaddy went to a country church just like that. One day he fell asleep during service (he was about 85 at the time). To wake him up, the preacher said, "Mr. McDade, would you say a prayer for us?" Grandaddy awoke with a start and replied, "You say the damn prayer, that's what you're paid for!"
I love coming back just to hear the latest on my former home.
You mentioned Helena on Mr. Eddie's blog.
My sons' dad lived in W. Helena at the same time as Harold Jenkins (C. Twitty). They were kids together and my husband used to talk about swimming the river over to Lulu MS. Never been sure what was invented and what was real. He loved to make a good story better and his older son is just like him.
This is TOO funny! I'm going to have to copy it and send it off to some friends who'll really get a kick out of it, too. Thanks for the chuckle!
