I'm Barricaded With My Shotgun, Now What?
Dear Cletus:
A couple of weeks ago, I finished samplin' my 'shine when I gots into fightin' with my wife. Well, the nosy neighbors, who just can't mind their own business, called the cops and the next thing I know, I'm barricaded in my house with a shotgun for three hours before I finally give myself up. After I get outta jail, my wife tells me that accordin' to her boyfriend, If I barricade myself with a shotgun, I should never let the cops take me alive. Is this true?
Sincerely,
Junior Thorton
Junior Thorton, Let me tell you somethin'. First, it's true. If you go to the trouble of barricading y'self with a shotgun, you should never, ever let the cops take you alive. But let me ask you this: why is your wife and your wife's boyfriend tellin' y'all this? Do ya think, maybe, they might be tryin' to get y'all to get rid of y'self? So, unless you're the kind of man that wants to make his wife and her boyfriend happy, and I'm pretty sure you aren't, the next time you're gettin' lickered-up, you might want to put the shotgun away.
