Justin Wilson III

Hokay, kids. This one will probably only be gotten by rural folk/hunters/bucolic people. But I'm one of them and I loved it when I heard this story probably 30 years ago. And the embedded version is definitely not the exact version I remember from the salad days of KFAT radio. Specifically, I remember the line:

"The boy pulled out a steel ball one one inch in diameter. Both ways."

Otherwise, it's mostly how I'd have transcribed from memory, except for the immortal line "It's a sin to lie to someone older than you." But it does have the great line, "You're goin' to Hell on a bobsled." Listen to it all, it's pretty much how I remember it, but I'll transcribe the punchline here as I remember it:

"How about that. A little bitty left-handed kid..."

"Mister, I ain't left-handed."

"How come you chunk left handed? How come you don't chunk right handed?"

"My daddy won't let me"

"How come"

"I tear 'em up too damn bad"
