Thread: Mel Tillis

The preacher was coming to eat with them after church and Mel's mother told Mel to go down the road to their neighbor's
house and get her two chickens. She said now don't get thin ones. Mel said, Momma, I know how to do it. So he went to
the neighbor's house and picked up two nice chickens and put them in a tow-sack. On the way home he cut across the
pasture and ran in to his cousin TT. TT said, Melvin, what you got in that sack. Mel said I got me some chickens. TT said
if I guess how many you got in there, will you give one. Mel said, if you can guess how many's in here I'll give you both of them. TT said six.
