Mountain

The Wall Street Journal tells the story of the traveler in the Ozarks who ate dinner with a mountain family, and was told there was no cre:un available for his coffee. The mountaineer said they hadn't had any milk since their dog died last summer. Of course the traveler wanted to know the connection, and the hill-billy said:

"FIow can that be? When I was here just a month ago when your boy was sick, I saw nearly a whole barrel of whiskey there in the corner."

And she plaintively explained:

"That's so Doc, but you know yoreself that one little ole barrel o' whiskey don't last'long with a family so pore they cain't afford to keep a cow."
