Senator Claghorn: Well, pay attention now, boy... I was mindin' my own business, sipping a julep, when of all things - this gas man told me some cock-and-bull story about the skinflintiest feller you ever did hear of, I say, he says this gent has some kind of polar bear and wears a toupe and drives the most broken-down old jalopy you ever did see. Now, in Dixie we don't take kindly to that kind of leg-pullin', so I say, I followed that gas-man down some rickety old staircase...about the only familiar things I did see were some genuine southern gators, but they was missing all kinds of suitcase and shoe-shaped pieces off their backs. Never could understand all that. Then, all of a sudden, a growl and two bites later, the doggone gas-man was gone. Son, I could sure use a belt of somethin'. Can you imagine some kind of baloney-sandwich fellow like that actually existing, bless his heart? And who in the dad-blamed Alabama midnight are you, son?
