LeRoy come down to the country store late yesterday mornin', an' he looked bad -- all bleary-eyed and haggard.
"LeRoy, what's wrong?"
"I didn't get any sleep at all last night. There was a ruckus in the hen house, and I out with my shotgun, and here come a skunk around the corner. I up with my shotgun and blew her head off."
"That's good, LeRoy. That's good. How come you to lose sleep over it?"
"Well, then eight little baby skunks come out. I felt so bad about killin' their mama -- and you know how cold it's been with all the snow and ice."
"What did you do, LeRoy?"
"I took 'em in the house and put 'em in bed with my wife."
"You put them in bed with your WIFE!!??"
"Well, yeah. Th' stove had gone out and it was th' only warm place in the house."
"Good Heavens, Man! What about the smell?"
"They'll have to get used to it, just like I did." :-)
