"Old Jethro's next door a-makin' moonshine again," the wife told her husband.

"How can you tell?" he asked. "Did you smell it?"

Pappy sees Elmer walking with a lantern and asks, "Where ya going, boy?"

The son smiled and replied, "I'm a-going courting Peggy-Sue."

The father said, "When I went a-courtin', I didn't need me no dang lantern."

"Sure, Pa, I know," the boy said, "and look what you got!"
