Folks still remember the day ole Bob Riley came bouncing down that
dirt road in his pickup. Pretty soon, it was bouncing higher and
higher. The tires popped, and the shocks broke, but that truck kept
bouncing. Some say it bounced clean over the moon, but whoever says
that is a damn liar. -- Jack Handey
